Free Marlins vs. Mariners MLB Pick

The Marlins are the underdog today vs Seattle as they try to get closer to .500 for the season, and they are turning to Max Meyer. On the other side, Logan Evans looks to help Seattle pick up the win in the final game of this interleague series. However, where I see the real betting value in this game is for this game to surpass 7.5 runs. Look for there to be more scoring than expected, and I like the over.
