Key Stats
Miami Marlins
The Miami Marlins starting pitcher is right-hander Edward Cabrera, he is 1-3 in his last four starts and an ERA of 7.04 and 49 strikeouts.
The Marlins lost star outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. ahead of the trade deadline to the New York Yankees. Chisholm was the Marlins leading batter. Now, that he is with the Yankees, the Marlins offense can see some struggle.
Tampa Bay Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher is southpaw Jeffrey Springs. Springs is reinstated tonight for the first game back since April. Springs underwent Tommy John surgery and it will be interesting to see how he does. Springs has not played a game since April 12th, 2023. It could be take a few pitches or innings for him to find his game.
The Rays center fielder Jose Siri has a batting average of .199, 14 HRs, and 37 RBIs so far this season. Siri now takes the place as one of the more dangerous hitters for the Rays but he is looking to take advantage of Edward Cabrera’s 7.04 ERA.
Prediction
The Tampa Bay Rays have won 50.9% of their games. With a 63.1% MoneyLine to win against the Marlins. The Rays are 7-5 in the last 12 games going over the spread.
While the odds are not in the least bit profitable it is easy to bet on them for the win and the spread since they have gone over in their last 12 games. The Rays will have Springs back in action since April 12, 2023.
The Miami Marlins, according to MoneyLine have a 41.2% chance of winning against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Marlins have lost key players in the trade deadline; Jazz Chisholm and pitcher A.J Puk.
It is looking like the Marlins are building for the future with future prospects joining the roster. The Marlins have been up and down all season and are in fifth place (last) in the NL East Division.
Final Pick
Tampa Bay Rays ML, (-175)
