San Diego Padres at Miami Marlins Prediction

Heading into Tuesday’s National League matchup between San Diego and Miami, the Padres are the favorite on the moneyline with an over-under line of 7.5 runs. Look for this to be yet another low-scoring game between the teams. Both Sean Manaea and Edward Cabrera could end up pitching deep into the game. I recommend taking the under.
