Miami Marlins vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’ve been talking about the Dodgers and these inflated prices all season and you shouldn’t make a habit of laying them all year. I’m rolling with the Dodgers and the RL to shave down the price for this game. The Marlins are a young team that’s had issues stepping up in competition and last night’s loss doesn’t help. Ohtani has also been lights out through 24 innings, posting a 0.38 ERA and 0.75 WHIP. He has yet to allow a homer this season. There’s a big gap in class in this matchup. Give me the RL to avoid the big number.
