The Dodgers have beaten the Marlins six straight times, and they've also gone over the total in seven straight meetings. Tonight's edition will see Tony Gonsolin go for the Dodgers and Cal Quantrill start for the Marlins, which means another over. In Quantrill's last three starts for the Marlins, he's given up 15 runs, including four in 3.2 innings of a 12-7 loss to the Dodgers on April 30. Quantrill has gone over his last four starts. Just the over.
The Dodgers just chased Cal Quantrill from the bump after 3 2/3 IP in Chavez Ravine last week, getting to him for 6 hits. He was lucky it wasn't worse and I like the Dodgers to pick up where they left off here. Tony Gonsolin impressed me in his first start after another long injury absence. The Marlins' bats have been more alive than I figured but LA can do some damage here.
