Marlins at Athletics picks and predictions
Prediction
Marlins 5, Athletics 3
Money line
Miami has played a tough slate during its recent slump. Cabrera gives the Marlins the better chance in the game’s early innings, and the Miami pen — especially the back end — is in much better shape heading into this contest.
Take the Marlins up to a -140 price. PASS otherwise.

Run line/Against the spread
The tag here works better than the above play on the Money Line. BACK MIAMI -1.5 (+120).
Over/Under
A runs-versus-runs expected analysis comes out pretty even on both sides. There is some lean against the pitching, and on a breeze-out evening the low number here would be worth a look if it got plus return.
PASS on the current Over 7.5, but that’s the play if the tag hits +105 or better.
