Dodgers at Marlins Picks and Predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Marlins 3

Moneyline

Despite scoring 11 runs on Tuesday, the Marlins have scored 3 or fewer runs in 7 of their last 10 games.

The Dodgers (-185) have scored 9 runs in 3 straight games and at least 9 runs in 4 of their last 6 games.

Expect LA’s offense to continue scoring and the Marlins offense to normalize.

But if you look at the odds of -185, they’re not worth it.
