Miami Marlins vs. Athletics Prediction

I’m on the Marlins in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, as I haven’t been the biggest fan of Eury Perez on the road this season, but I think he’s in a decent spot here with the A’s not hitting all that well right now and the Marlins bats have been some of the hottest in baseball over the last month. I think Gage Jump could have some issues against a Miami team that’s really improved their play against lefties and I think the Marlins get the job done here.
