Marlins vs Rays Prediction

The Rays won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, while this season, each team recorded two wins. I am going with Under in this one, even though Taj Bradley’s last start against Miami didn’t go well. He allowed five runs in 4.0 innings in that game, but I am sure Bradley will display a much better performance on Saturday. Ryan Weathers, on the other hand, has been solid in his four starts, allowing more than a run just once. Back the Under.
