Betting Trends for vs
The Marlins are playing decent this year and should be able to come into the game here continue to play good offensively. The problem is not the Marlins hitting, but instead it is Yamamoto who has not thrown that good on the year in his limited outing. That will definitely make it harder for him to throw good in the game here which will lead to the Blue Jays getting a good offensive production coupled with decent pitching from Pearson. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Blue Jays win 6-2.
