Miami Marlins DFS SPIN
Jazz Chisholm Jr. was not in the Marlins’ lineup for Friday’s contest against the Rangers. It’ll be veteran Avisaíl García in center field on Friday night as the Marlins continue to closely monitor Chisholm Jr.’s workload in his return from a left oblique strain.
Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
Adolis García went 3-for-3 with two solo homers on Friday, powering the Rangers to a 6-2 victory over the Marlins. García lifted an opposite-field shot just inside the right-field foul pole in the third inning before clobbering an absolute moonshot to center field in the sixth inning off Marlins starter Jesús Luzardo for his third multi-homer performance of the season. The 30-year-old fantasy stalwart is up to 28 round-trippers on the year and also leads the American League with 88 RBI across 107 games.

Marlins vs. Rangers MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Soriano is a rookie right-hander that has made 11 relief appearances this season, pitching three or more innings on six occasions. It’s difficult to know what the Marlins can expect from him and how many innings he’ll be able to pitch. Gray, meanwhile, is 6-5 with a 3.66 ERA and is 4-3 with a 3.59 ERA in nine career outings against the Marlins. There’s no value in the Rangers’ moneyline, so instead I’m going to take the under. The Marlins can’t hit so even if the Rangers’ offense gets rolling, I still don’t think it’ll be enough to cash the over.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: MARLINS/RANGERS UNDER 9
