Texas Rangers at Miami Marlins Prediction

Leading into Monday’s interleague matchup between Texas and Miami, the Marlins have the slight edge on the moneyline. Miami has lost 6 straight games with Trevor Rogers as their starting pitcher and although Glenn Otto hasn’t been anything special this year, he has pitched decent of late. I like Texas on the moneyline.
