Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Miami Marlins ML over Seattle Mariners
9:40 pm ET
Miami makes the long, cross-country trip to Seattle for a Monday night game, but had all the advantages from a baseball perspective. Starter Jesus Luzardo is having a strong season and Seattle is one of the worst teams in the league against left-handed pitching, while Seattle starts Bryce Miller, who has given up a combined 15 runs in his last 2 starts. The Marlins are also hot on offense. Check out our full Marlins vs Mariners predictions.
