Dodgers Keep Winning
The Dodgers just keep winning games, and they have won two games in a row. On Sunday, the Dodgers’ offense scored nine runs, and that was enough for the seven-run victory. Andy Pages had a strong game, hitting a home run and driving in four RBIs. Freddie Freeman also finished with two hits and two RBIs. It ended up being a bullpen game after Tyler Glasnow left the game in the first inning with a shoulder injury. Four different pitchers ended up locking down the rest of the game.
The Dodgers are averaging 4.75 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.18 runs per game. The offense is ranked 8th while the pitching is ranked 12th. Getting the start for the Dodgers will be Dustin May, who sits with a 1-1 record and an ERA of 3.68. Against the Chicago Cubs in his last start, he went five innings, giving up ten hits and seven runs.

Another Loss for the Marlins
The Marlins have had some struggles this season, and it was another loss on Sunday. The Marlins scored six runs against the Seattle Mariners, but the pitching gave up seven runs, and that led to the defeat. Augustin Ramirez had quite the game, hitting two home runs, but it wasn’t enough with the pitching being so bad. After a strong start in the first two games, he wasn’t good enough in the last game. He went four innings and gave up five hits and four runs. The Marlins can’t be having bad starts out of him.
The Marlins are averaging 4.44 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.63 runs per game. The offense is ranked 13th in the league while the defense is ranked 29th. They are ranked 4th in terms of batting average, so the offense should be better. Edward Cabrera is getting the start for the Marlins, and he sits with a 0-1 record and an ERA of 6.16. Against the Cincinnati Reds, he went five innings, giving up five hits and three runs.

Dodgers vs Marlins Prediction
The Dodgers and Marlins are going to be involved in a high-scoring game. The Marlins have done a good job of getting hits his season, and now they get to face off against Dustin May, whose confidence has been rattled. In his last start, he gave up ten hits and seven runs. For the Dodgers, they are going to get to tee off against Cabrera, who sits with a high ERA of 6.16, and he’s not going to magically get any better here. The Marlins played in a 7-6 game on Sunday, and I wouldn’t be shocked if that’s where this game ended up, too. Back over to end up cashing.
