Expert Betting Tips

I am going to back the Marlins here. But regardless of that, this should turn out to be a really solid matchup for the starters. In his most recent three starts, Garrett has posted a winning record of 1-0 despite allowing a total of 17.2 innings and five runs that were earned. When it comes to Suarez, he is coming off a bad start (5.1 innings, five earned runs), but prior to that, he had only two earned runs in his previous 13.1 innings. On Friday, Miami performed fairly well throughout, with the exception of the ninth inning, in which reliever AJ Puk had a terrible outing. In order to win game two, the Marlins are going to have to put out their best effort possible.
