Miami Marlins vs LA Dodgers Prediction

I’m not thrilled to lay this price with the Dodgers, given Miller is on the mound, and he hasn’t been good. The problem is, that the Dodgers are making a push for the best record in baseball, and they’re playing the Marlins. The Miami Marlins can’t string together offense and the losses keep piling up. This is simply trusting the Dodgers bats to score enough to where the pitching matchup doesn’t matter. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
