The current betting odds have the Marlins listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Marlins have looked good in their games this season with their 49-42 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NL East. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 28-17 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Mariners have looked good in their games this season with their 47-44 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 20-24 road record this year. The Mariners are 6-4 in their last 10 games and they have looked a lot better lately after going through a bit of a slump, but the Marlins are 7-3 in their last 10 games and they have been rolling lately with a really hot offense. Not only do the Marlins have the hotter offense at the moment, they are also going to have the better pitching matchup here. The Marlins are going with Meyer in this one and he has looked great this season. He is 9-1 with a 2.53 ERA and he has been a stud for them. He is coming off another great start in which he only gave up 1 earned run which has been a common theme for him lately, and the team has had a ton of success with him too, winning 5 of their last 6 games with him starting. The Mariners have had some trouble with their starting rotation this season and their offense has also been one of the worst in the league. The Marlins have the much hotter offense right now to take advantage of this pitching matchup, so look for the Marlins to continue rolling in this home game where they have looked so much better this season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Marlins to win this game.

“He just kept doing what he does. He and [catcher Mitch Garver] had a great gameplan again today, using his fastballs. He went to the curveball early, got some swing-and-miss on that and threw some sweepers, but really it was the fastballs. They were being aggressive and playing into what he needed to do, which is make outs.” - Dan Wilson after his team’s win against the Blue Jays in their game on Sunday. 

“Us looking to play beyond the regular season, Eury's going to be an important part of that. He had it really going today, and I totally get it; and there was a part of my heartstrings pulling at his opportunity to keep on going, but I think I have to think about Eury, one, and our organization, our team, and what's best moving forward to give us a chance to continue to win games. So [I] made more of a calculated decision with where he was with the pitch count to take him out.” - Clayton McCullough after his team’s win against the A’s in their game on Sunday.
