Marlins vs. Guardians Best MLB Prop Bet

• Tanner Bibee UNDER 5.5 Strikeouts (-138) via FanDuel

The Marlins have shown great plate discipline since the All-Star Break, striking out on just 19.9% of their plate appearances, which is the sixth-best rate in the Majors in that time frame. Today, they'll face Tanner Bibee, who has failed to reach six strikeouts in five of his last seven starts.

Marlins vs. Guardians Prediction and Pick

There's little to separate these two offenses. The Marlins rank 13th in the Majors in OPS since the All-Star Break at .738, while the Guardians come in at 10th in that time frame at .748. The Guardians also have a slight advantage in batting average at .249 compared to .247.

The reason I'm going to back the underdog Marlins is largely due to pitching. Edward Cabrera comes into this game with a 3.05 ERA, compared to Tanner Bibee, whose ERA sits at 4.60. Bibee has also allowed 4+ earned runs in three straight starts, which sets up well for Miami tonight.

Pick: Marlins +104 via FanDuel
