Dodgers vs. Marlins Baseball Betting Odds
Dodgers vs Marlins Expert Predictions
The Dodgers are the superior team in pretty much every facet. The last time these two teams faced off with these pitchers, the Dodgers won. Tony Gonsolin was fine, but he's still better than Cal Quantrill.
The offenses are unequal as well. The Marlins are not very good, and the Dodgers have one of baseball's best lineups right now. It shouldn't be particularly close.
Prediction: Dodgers 9, Marlins 3
