The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to flex their muscle as one of the top teams in the National League, and they’ll have a prime opportunity to add to their win total Monday night. They host the Miami Marlins in the opener of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium, where the Dodgers enter as massive favorites behind Dustin May.
Meanwhile, the Marlins — struggling with injuries and inconsistency — will turn to Edward Cabrera to try to cool off an explosive Dodgers lineup led by Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernandez, and Mookie Betts. Miami has hit the ball better lately, but their pitching staff (5.32 ERA) ranks near the bottom of MLB and could be in for a rough night against a top-5 Dodgers offense.
First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET on SportsNet LA and FDSFL.

🔥 Final Dodgers vs. Marlins Prediction
Category | Pick |
Run Line | Dodgers -1.5 (-136) |
Total Runs | Over 8.5 |
Moneyline | Dodgers -284 |
Final Score | Dodgers 6, Marlins 4 |
The Marlins’ offense has some pop, but their pitching has been too inconsistent to trust. Expect the Dodgers to handle business behind Dustin May while Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernandez continue to lead the charge. Over 8.5 is worth a strong look with two offenses capable of multiple big innings.
