Take #907 Miami Marlins over San Diego Padres
(MLB) Miami vs. San Diego,
Money Line: 160.00 Miami (Away)
Result: Win
The contest will feature a left-handed pitching matchup that on paper would seem to favor the Padres -- San Diego's Blake Snell (10-8, 2.65 ERA) vs. Miami's Jesus Luzardo (8-8, 4.13). Luzardo is 0-3 in his past four starts, giving up 21 runs (20 earned) on 30 hits (including eight homers) and nine walks with 16 strikeouts in 17 innings. That's a 10.59 ERA -- ballooning his ERA from 3.22 to 4.13. And he didn't go deeper than 5 1/3 innings in any of the four starts. Luzardo has skills. He finished eighth in the 2020 American League Rookie of the Year voting while pitching for Oakland. He has 160 strikeouts in 137 1/3 innings this season -- an average of 10.5 per nine innings. And he went into the All-Star break with a 3.29 ERA. We think he bounces back here today, and the Marlins get to Snell today. Let's roll with Miami.
