The San Diego Padres (58-42) and Miami Marlins (41-57) play the third game of a four-game set Saturday at loanDepot park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Marlins odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP Ryan Weathers is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. He is 4-2 with a 2.91 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 6.4 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 over 58 2/3 innings across 11 starts and 6 relief appearances.
Weathers last appeared July 11 in a start against the Colorado Rockies when he allowed two hits and a walk in two scoreless innings.
As of this publishing, the Marlins have not announced their starter in what is expected to be a “bullpen game.” LHP Braxton Garrett is a possibility. He is 0-1 with a 5.17 ERA, 1.92 WHIP, 5.7 K/9 and 4.6 BB/9 in 3 starts and 1 bullpen outing.
Garrett last pitched Sunday, going 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision of a Marlins’ 7-4 loss at the Philadelphia Phillies. The southpaw yielded three runs, two earned, on seven hits and three walks with two strikeouts.

Money line (ML)
The PADRES (-135) are the play with the Marlins using a spot starter and treating Saturday as a bullpen game.
The Padres, who are on a three-game win streak and are 5-2 since the All-Star break, are the much better team. They took the first two games of this series, winning 3-2 Thursday and 5-2 Friday.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
PASS with the line off the board.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 8 (-105) is the lean here. The Under is 4-0 in the past four for the Padres, and 3-0-1 in the past four for the Marlins. With a pair of shaky starting pitchers, expect a little more offense than there was in the first two games of this series.
