MLB betting preview highlights Marlins' ace and Angels matchup odds
The column recommends betting on Miami pitcher Sandy Alcantara, who has thrown back-to-back shutouts, as the Marlins host the Angels.
In a betting-focused column, the writer highlights Miami’s Sandy Alcantara, who has delivered two straight shutouts spanning 13 innings, and advises a $50 bet on him at -154 odds via FanDuel. The upcoming opponent, the Los Angeles Angels, will start rookie Walbert Ureña, whose record stands at 7-7 overall but a poor 1-5 away from home.
