Los Angeles Dodgers at Miami Marlins 8/29/22 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Monday MLB schedule will get underway with a matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Miami Marlins from loanDepot Park. The Dodgers have won 43 of their 65 road games and are a major league best 50 games over .500 overall. On Sunday, All-Star OF Mookie Betts hit his 31st home run of the season to lead Los Angeles to an 8-1 road victory against Miami.

Twenty-eight year old righty Tony Gonsolin (16-1 2.10 ERA) has quietly put himself into Cy Young Award contention. The Dodgers have won Gonsolin’s last five starts and he has allowed just five runs over his last 28 plus frames.

The Miami Marlins have dropped seven of their previous ten games and have struggled to produce offensively. On Sunday, Miami batters were limited to two hits and retired by strikes ten times. SP Edward Cabrera (4-2) was tagged for six runs in five plus innings and took the loss for the Marlins, who fell to 55-72 on the year.

Miami manager Don Mattingly will counter with twenty-six year old righty Pablo Lopez (8-8 3.66 ERA) in the series finale. Last time out, Lopez fired six shutout innings during a 5-3 road victory against Oakland.
