Season series: Diamondbacks lead 3-2

The Marlins have lost 5 straight series. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games and 8 of their last 11.

Diamondbacks at Marlins projected starters

LHP Jordan Montgomery vs. RHP Roddery Munoz

  • Moneyline (ML): Diamondbacks -165 (bet $165 to win $100) | Marlins +140 (bet $100 to win $140)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Diamondbacks at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Marlins 6, Diamondbacks 5

Moneyline

Montgomery has been the Diamondbacks’ least consistent starter this season. He has allowed 4+ runs in 7 starts this season.

Munoz hasn’t been good this month, posting an 8.25 ERA, but the Marlins haven’t been swept since losing 3 games to the Houston Astros July 9-11.

BET MARLINS (+140).

Run line/Against the spread

In 9 of the last 10 games that the Marlins have covered the spread, they have won outright.

The Diamondbacks are 6-16 ATS on the road as favorites this season.

So while betting the run line isn’t a bad wager, the +140 odds on the moneyline are better.

PASS. 

Over/Under

Twelve of Montgomery’s 19 starts have had at least 9 runs.

Seven of Arizona’s last 10 games have had totals of 9 or more runs.

Nine of Miami’s last 14 games have reached 9 or more total runs.

BET OVER 8.5 (-105).

Arizona Diamondbacks at Miami Marlins odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Arizona Diamondbacks at Miami Marlins odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Miami Marlins (46-78) welcome the Arizona Diamondbacks (69-56) to loanDepot Park Monday for the 1st game of a 3-game series. First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Marlins odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Marlins lead 2-1

The Marlins, who are 58-66 against the spread (ATS), beat the New York Mets 3-2 Sunday to avoid a sweep. Miami has lost 3 of its last 4 games and 6 of its last 9, but it hasn’t been swept in a 3-game series since July 2-4 against the Boston Red Sox. Miami is 24-39 at home.

The Diamondbacks were swept on the road in their last series, losing 8-7 Sunday, 6-1 Saturday and 5-4 Friday to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Diamondbacks are still a playoff-contending team, sitting 3rd in the NL West. They are 32-30 on the road and 61-64 ATS. Arizona is 1-5 ATS in its last 6.

Diamondbacks at Marlins projected starters

RHP Brandon Pfaadt vs. Undecided

Pfaadt (7-6, 3.98 ERA) makes his 25th start. He has a 1.11 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 in 144 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 4 ER, 8 H, 0 BB, 11 K in 5-4 home win over the Colorado Rockies Monday
  • 2024 away stats: 2-4, 4.24 ERA (76 1/3 IP, 36 ER), 1.13 WHIP, 8.1 K/9 in 13 starts
  • Career vs. Marlins: 0-1, 10.80 ERA (5 IP, 2 ER), 1.80 WHIP, 5.4 K/9 in 1 start

There’s no inclination on who will take the mound for the Marlins, but the odds being posted suggest they shouldn’t have a major outcome on the battle.

Diamondbacks at Marlins odds

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Diamondbacks at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 5, Marlins 4

Moneyline

PASS.

The Diamondbacks are too pricey here, and they aren’t worth wagering almost double your money for half a unit of potential return. The Marlins similarly aren’t worth the moneyline risk.

Run line/Against the spread

BET MARLINS +1.5 (-102).

The Diamondbacks are the better team here, but they haven’t been beating opponents by a sizable margin as of late. They are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games and 3-3 straight up in those battles, going 1-2 ATS in their wins.

In its series prior to Tampa Bay, Arizona played Colorado, another one of the worst teams in the MLB. It swept the series yet was 1-2 ATS, winning 2 of the 3 games by 1 run. Miami is 26-21 ATS as a home underdog as well.

Considering those trends, expect a close game and take the underdog. Back MARLINS +1.5 (-102).

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-115).

Both teams are trending toward the Over as of late. The Marlins are 4-3 O/U in their last 7 games, scoring at least 3 runs in 6 of those 7 and at least 5 runs in 4 of those 7.

The Diamondbacks are 6-2 O/U in their last 8 games and have scored at least 4 runs in 7 of the 8 games while allowing at least 4 runs in 6 of their last 7 outings. Considering those trends, back OVER 8 (-115).

Season series: Tied 5-5

The Marlins split a 2-game set at the Philadelphia Phillies. After taking the Tuesday opener 5-0 as +182 underdogs, they lost 9-5 as +144 underdogs Wednesday as the Over (8.5) hit. Miami is 5th in the NL East and has less than a 0.1% chance to make the playoffs, according to FanGraphs.com.

The Mets have dropped 5 of their last 6 games and are coming off a 2-1 series loss to the visiting Oakland A’s. They wrapped up the series with a 7-6 loss as -184 favorites Thursday with the Over (8) cashing. New York is 3rd in the NL East, 9 games behind the division-leading Philadelphia Phillies, and 2 games back of the Atlanta Braves for the final NL Wild Card spot.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 3 K in 9-8 home setback in 10 innings against San Diego Padres Saturday

Marlins at Mets picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 6, Marlins 4

Moneyline

The Mets (-225) should bounce back after blowing a 5-run lead to the A’s. Even though the Marlins are the 2nd-worst team in the NL (behind the Colorado Rockies), betting lines with this much vig makes it nearly impossible to stay profitable in MLB.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The Mets have struggled recently, but their last 8 wins have been by multiple runs. Nine of the Marlins’ last 10 losses have been by 2 or more runs, and 3 of Manaea’s last 4 starts have resulted in multi-run wins for the Mets.

BET METS -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over has hit in 4 straight for the Mets and in 7 of 9 for the Marlins. Muñoz has allowed 6 runs in 3 of his last 6 starts, and New York has scored 6 or more in back-to-back games.

BET OVER 8.5 (-105).

Prediction

Phillies 4, Marlins 3

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Phillies’ moneyline Tuesday.

Run line/Against the spread

BET MARLINS -1.5 (-140).

The Phillies have what it takes to win Tuesday in their 1st game back home in 10 games, but with Walker returning to make his 1st start since June and Bellozo coming off a scoreless 6 innings, the Marlins will keep it close. Miami has scored 7 or more runs in back-to-back games, while Philadelphia has scored 2 or fewer in 2 of its last 3.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-115).

While the Marlins have scored 7 or more runs in back-to-back games, they had scored 4 or fewer in 6 of the previous 8. Philadelphia has scored 2 or fewer runs in 2 of its last 3 games while allowing 4 or fewer in 5 of its last 8. Expect a pitchers’ duel that will lead to the Under hitting Tuesday.

Marlins at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 6, Marlins 3

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Braves to win here as -200 home favorites, but the line is not worth the risk. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

BET BRAVES -1.5 (+110). 

Atlanta has won each of its last 4 overall matchups vs. Miami, only allowing the Marlins to come within 1-run once in those 4 games. The Braves are also 4-0 in their last 4 meetings with Miami in Atlanta.

This is a slightly risky bet as the Braves are the slightly colder team, entering at 4-6 in their last 10 while the Marlins are 6-4 in their last 10.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-122).

The Over has hit in 3 of Atlanta’s last 4 overall. For Miami, the Over is 4-1 in its last 5 home games and is a dominant 8-1-1 in its last 10 overall. The Over is also 6-4 in the last 10 matchups between these squads.

Be aware the Under has hit in 2 of Atlanta’s last 3 home games and the Under has also hit in each of the last 3 Miami-Atlanta matchups in Atlanta.

The Rays have won back-to-back games after taking down the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 on Sunday and covering as -102 home favorites.

Marlins at Rays projected starters

RHP Edward Cabrera vs. LHP Jeffrey Springs

Cabrera (1-3, 7..04 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.62 WHIP, 5.63 BB/9 and 11.50 K/9 in 38 1/3 IP.

Marlins at Rays picks and predictions

Prediction

Rays 5, Marlins 4

Moneyline

BET RAYS (-175).

While the odds are not extremely profitable, the Rays will see Spring start his 1st game since April 13, 2023. They have won 3 of their last 4 including back-to-back games at home while the Marlins have dropped 2 of their last 4 including their last game on the road.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There is value on the Rays run line, however the Marlins are 4-2 in their last 6 games and have scored 6 runs or more in 5 of their last 6 overall.

Over/Under

BET OVER 7.5 (-110).

Miami has an Over record of 7-2-1 in its last 10 games including 6-0-1 in its last 7. It has scored 6 or more runs in 6 of its last 10. Tampa Bay has hit the Over in 5 of its last 9 while scoring 4 or more runs in 5 of its last 9.

Season series: Marlins lead 2-1

The Marlins failed to sweep the Baltimore Orioles in a 3-game set Tuesday through Thursday. They wrapped up the series with a 7-6 loss in 10 innings as +174 home underdogs with the Over (8) easily hitting.

The Brewers won 2 of 3 at the Chicago Cubs, winning the series finale 3-2 as +128 underdogs Wednesday as the Under (7) cashed. Milwaukee has won 5 of 6, but All-Star OF Christian Yelich (back tightness) was forced to leave in Tuesday’s 1-0 win and is not expected to return until later this season.

Marlins at Brewers projected starters

LHP Trevor Rogers vs. RHP Freddy Peralta

Rogers (1-9, 4.59 ERA) makes his 21st start. He has a 1.55 WHIP, 4.1 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 100 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 1 ER (2 R), 5 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 4-2 home win over New York Mets Sunday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Marlins at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Marlins 4, Brewers 3

Moneyline

The MARLINS (+185) are worth a small wager as such big underdogs at the Brewers, who will be without 1 of their best hitters in Yelich. Milwaukee has scored a total of just 5 runs over its last 3 games and losing anyone at the top of the order is a huge blow to its offense.

The Marlins’ bats have come alive, scoring 4 or more runs in 5 straight games. While it’s not likely that this spark continues much longer, it’s hard to bet against them right now, especially since Rogers is 3-0 with a 2.70 ERA in 4 career starts against Milwaukee.

BET MARLINS (+185).

Run line/Against the spread

Miami +1.5 (-105) is a decent play to cover at Milwaukee, but the plus odds on the ML is the preferred play with how erratic the Marlins have been this season.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Under has hit in 3 straight for the Brewers, with Milwaukee averaging just 1.67 runs per game over that span. Miami has scored exactly 6 runs in 3 straight games (3-0 O/U), but that type of production isn’t likely to continue.

BET UNDER 8 (-115).

The Orioles have lost each of their last 3 games and have failed to eclipse 3 runs in each of their last 8 losses.

Orioles at Marlins projected starters

RHP Corbin Burnes vs. RHP Roddery Munoz

Burnes (10-4, 2.38 ERA) makes his 21st start. He has a 1.04 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 in 124 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 4 BB, 6 K in a 9-1 win over Texas Rangers Friday

Orioles at Marlins odds

Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 12:37 a.m. ET.

  • Moneyline (ML): Orioles -275 (bet $275 to win $100) | Marlins +220 (bet $100 to win $220)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Orioles -2.5 (+105) | Marlins +2.5 (-125)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Marlins 4

Moneyline

PASS.

Even with being so cold, the Orioles are simply the much better team and I like them to cover as -275 favorites. However, this line is far too risky to bet on. Bet on the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

BET MARLINS +2.5 (-125).

Miami is the slightly hotter team, being 3-1 in its last 4 while Baltimore has dropped 3 straight. The Marlins are also 4-1 in their last 5 matchups vs. Baltimore in Miami, meaning that the Marlins are not only likely to cover the spread, but also have a very good chance of winning the game.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-115). 

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for Baltimore and is 5-1 in its last 6 overall. For Miami, the Over is 3-0 in its last 3 and 7-3 in its last 10.

The Over has also hit in each of the last 4 Baltimore-Miami meetings and is  8-2 in the last 10 meetings. It is also 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Miami.
