Marlins vs. Dodgers Baseball Betting Odds
Marlins vs Dodgers Expert Predictions
The pitching matchup is about as bad as it gets. On one side, the Dodgers are starting someone who last pitched in 2023. The Marlins are starting someone with a near-8.00 ERA.
On offense, the Marlins are thoroughly outgunned. Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts are heating up, and the Marlins just don't have the firepower to keep up. Sweeps are hard to come by, but not in this instance.
Prediction: Dodgers 8, Marlins 3
