Los Angeles Dodgers at Miami Marlins Prediction

Heading into Sunday’s matchup between Los Angeles and Miami, the Dodgers are the heavy favorite to come away with the win. However, Edward Cabrera has been excellent on the mound for Miami, as he hasn’t given up a run in his past 4 outings. Look for today’s game to play out similar to yesterday’s low-scoring contests. I recommend taking the under.
