Miami Marlins vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

I might try Miami here. The Marlins weren’t spectacular on the road against the Mets over the weekend, but they were able to halt a three-Game losing streak with a decent effort on Sunday. Miami has been scoring pretty well overall lately, with three or more runs in six of their last seven outings. The issue is going to be in preventing scoring on the other side, however; the Marlins have given up four or more runs in five of those seven Games.

This opener is likely going to require a pretty strong outing from Miami, which may spoil their chances at an opener W. The Marlins might be worth it as a value play, though.
