My Prediction
Los Angeles Dodgers by 3Batter up, and strap in for another thrilling contest of the old ball game, with the Los Angeles Dodgers heading over to the Sunshine State to face off against the Miami Marlins. Under the beaming lights of loanDepot Park, it's time for some real tit for tat, throw for swing, rounders - this ain't your grandparents' tea party.
Let's have a quick gander at our warriors for today, shall we? The mound for the Dodgers is graced by none other than Tony Gonsolin, sporting a 4.50 ERA and a noteworthy 13.5 K/9 this season. On the flip side, we have Cal Quantrill representing the Marlins, trudging along with an 8.47 ERA and 5.6 K/9. If this was a spaghetti western, I think it's clear who's wearing the black hat.
Looking at the rogues on both sides, the Dodgers parade some serious firepower with Miguel Rojas, Freddie Freeman, and Teoscar Hernandez, swinging their bats like a medieval knight swinging a mace. The Marlins, however, aren't here for a roasting. They've got Dane Myers and Javier Sanoja holding the fort, while Kyle Stowers is showing some zest lately.
Harking back to previous skirmishes, the Dodgers have had the upper hand, consistently dunking the Marlins like an English biscuit in a cup of tea. The memory of the 20-4 massacre back in September 2024 is still fresh, as are the more recent 2025 clashes favoring the Dodgers.
Feeling like a librarian looking at the records, the 23-11 Dodgers have been the more compelling read than the 13-20 Marlins. The Dodgers have been coming off hotter than a jalapeno recently, providing us with some priceless moments, whilst the Marlins have been flipping around like a fish out of water.
For those looking to place a wager, if this was a horse race, I'd suspect the Dodgers would be the thoroughbred with a shiny coat and the Marlins - well, they might have a limp. It's a tough old world out there, folks.
