Rangers vs Marlins Prediction

The Marlins are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Rangers, but have lost their last three meetings in Miami.

In this Rangers vs Marlins Prediction, the Marlins are coming as -160 home favorites. I like the Marlins in a bounce-back spot today, as I trust Alcantara at home more than I trust Cal Quantrill. Alcantara sits on a 3.42 home ERA, while Quantrill has given up 5 runs in his last 2.2 innings pitched in two relief appearances. On top of that, the Marlins have the 4th-best bullpen in baseball and a better offense, so I expect them to get the job done at home.
