We have two solid arms on the hill this afternoon as the Los Angeles Dodgers host the Miami Marlins in the rubber match at Dodger Stadium. 

While both Tyler Glasnow and Sandy Alcantara have pitched well, my Marlins vs. Dodgers predictions and MLB picks are backing L.A. to win another contest behind their big righty. 

Who will win Marlins vs Dodgers today: Dodgers -1.5 (-1084)

The Los Angeles Dodgers will be looking to win the series finale after losing on Monday evening. They’ve covered the run line in two of their last four contests, but more importantly, L.A. often gives Tyler Glasnow run support.

The defending champions have covered the run line in three of his five outings this season. They blanked the Giants 3-0 in Glasnow’s last start, and he's been dominant overall. The veteran tossed eight scoreless innings, and he owns a 2.46 ERA

Glasnow hasn’t faced anyone in this Miami Marlins lineup, but he’s been practically unhittable. He also owns a 1.29 ERA across his two afternoon outings.

As for Sandy Alcantara, he’s gone 3-2 with a respectable 3.05 ERA., showing flashes of his old self. However, the Dodgers will be looking forward to facing him. They’re hitting .324 off Alcantara across 105 at-bats.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Sandy Alcantara has struggled on the road, compiling a 7.50 ERA across two starts.

Marlins vs Dodgers Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (+100)

Seven of the last eight meetings have comfortably gone Over the total. In fact, Monday’s 2-1 game was the first time the Under cashed since 2024. The Dodgers often score a lot of runs in this matchup, and the Alcantara matchup plays in their favor. 

Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, Max Muncy, and Teoscar Hernandez are all hitting a minimum of .286 against Alcantara. He’s really been poor away from Miami, giving up 10 runs in just two appearances.

I believe Glasnow will be his dominant self, but this could be an offensive explosion for the Dodgers. Expect a loud victory from L.A. and Alcantara exiting relatively early.
