Liam Hicks has also been solid when in the line up. He is hitting .236 with a .328 OBP. He has two doubles, a home run, 12 RBIS, and six runs scored.

Also playing well is Xavier Edwards. Edwards is hitting .267 with a .338 OBP. He has three doubles, nine RBIs, six stolen bases, and 13 runs scored.
Why The Dodgers Will Cover The Spread/Win
Teoscar Hernández has been great for the Dodgers this year, leading the team with 27 RBIs. He is also hitting .274 with a .291 OBP. Hernandez has six doubles, nine home runs, 27 RBIs, and 16 runs scored. Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani is hitting well. He is hitting .290 with a .392 OBP.

Final Marlins-Dodgers Prediction & Pick
While Cal Quantril is 2-2 on the year, he has just one solid start. That was going five innings and giving up four hits against the Braves. In his other four starts, he has given up 20 runs in 18 innings of work with four home runs. Further, he has allowed at least five base runners in all four of those starts. Further, current members of the Dodgers have had success against Cal Quantrill. In 118 at-bats, they have hit .322 with a .404 OBP. Further, they have four home runs and 17 RBIs. Ten current members of the Dodgers have an RBI against Quantrill. This does not include Freddie Freeman, who is 8-15 with two doubles, a triple, and three walks, but does not have an RBI. Meanwhile, Tony Gonsolin is making his first start since 2023. His last start in 2023 was against the Marlins, but only one current Marlin has faced him. That is Jesus Sanchez, who is one for four with a single. Gonsolin may give up runs in this game, and with Quantrill on the mound for the Dodgers, there should be plenty of runs in this one. Take the Over.
Final Marlins-Dodgers Prediction & Pick: Over 9.5 (-110)
