Padres vs. Marlins Prediction: Friday, August 9th

Another day, another MLB predictions article attacking the lowly Marlins! After a very profitable series backing the Reds, it's now the Padres who move into town and this Padres team is HOT! They come into this weekend series winners of 7 of the last 8 games and are now firmly in a playoff spot. 

Even bigger bonus is that they get to face Edwin Cabrera who is awful, so let’s load up the bets starting with the Padres money line, which is much better value than it should be given the matchup tonight. The following wagers will go the way of props, and it will start with Jackson Merrill who is breaking out this month of August with a .350 average and OPS of 1.125! He’s hitting righties well all season as well batting .318 but the recent explosion was worth noting. 

I’m taking him to go over 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs tonight as he is hitting 6th in the lineup and should have many RBIs tries tonight. The final wager here is going to be on the Padres offense with their team total runs prop sitting at 4.5. The Padres have gone over this number in 9 of the last 11 games and I don’t believe this Marlins pitching staff is going to stand in their way, so over on the Padres offense. Let's go!
