My Prediction
Los Angeles Dodgers by 3Let's kick this thing off with our starting pitchers, we got Ben "doesn't miss a lot" Casparius, on the hill for the Dodgers boasting a tight ERA of 3.35. Going against him from the Miami mound will be Sandy Alcantara, who's been having a bit of a rough go this season with an ERA of 8.78. Not pretty, not pretty at all.
A bit of a hometown advantage for Miami, we're playing ball at sunny loanDepot Park. Pitcher's paradise, that one, could give ol' Sandy an edge.
Can't talk Dodgers without mentioning their Big Three, Rojas has been flying out of the gate with a .364 hitting average, Freeman, steady as a ship, comes in at .348 and Teoscar "look at my RBIs" Hernandez with an impressive 25 under his belt already. Oh, and let's give an honorable mention to Andy Pages, smackin' six over the fence.
Marlins haven't been idling, Myers, Stowers, and Hicks all proving they can swing a bat. And Mervis? His batting average is a bit of a tragedy, but he's belting home runs, so he gets a nod.
Looking at the historic battles between these two, Dodgers have a solid track record of leaving the Marlins in the dust. And if we glance at the regular season record, the Dodgers are dominating with 23 wins to the Marlins' 13. The recent matchup scoreboard doesn't paint a different picture. Dodgers putting up solid numbers overall, while the Marlins seem to be barely keeping their heads above water.
However, when it comes to the recent face-offs, Dodgers had a close shave with Atlanta, barely besting them in their last matchup while they got their feathers ruffled in the one prior. Marlins, too, had a bit of a battle with the Athletics but managed to snare a win in their most recent face-off.
Well, my oh my, isn't this some juicy data to ponder over? Those chomping at the bit to place their bets might already have one foot out the door.
But hold your horses! Here it comes, my surefire prediction. Drumroll, please...
