Miami Marlins vs. Detroit Tigers Prediction

I’m on the over in this one. The Marlins have been really strong out of the gate against right-handed pitching and I think Casey Mize could be in some trouble in this start while the Tigers get a more favorable matchup to kick the offense in gear when they go up against Janson Junk here. The bullpens could also give up a few as well so give me the over when all is said and done here.
