- See the Dodgers vs Marlins odds ahead of Sunday’s match-up
Whatever happens over the next two games between the Miami Marlins (55-71) and Los Angeles Dodgers (87-38), the Marlins can rest assured of one facet. They aren’t going to be swept in the season series.
Prior to Saturday’s 2-1 Marlins victory over the Dodgers, LA were winners of all four games between the two in 2022. In fact, the Dodgers were riding a five-game win streak during which they’d averaged seven runs per game. Saturday’s game marked the first time in seven games with Miami that LA didn’t put at least a six spot on the scoreboard.
Oddsmakers are expecting the axis of this series to tilt back toward LA in Sunday’s game. It’s the Dodgers who are set as solid -278 favorites. LA is 37-22 against the runline as a road favorite this season.

The only factors proving capable of slowing Cabrera down this season are injuries and illness. He lost two weeks to a back ailment and a month to an infection.
Over his past 22.2 innings pitched, Cabrera is showing 28 strikeouts against 10 walks. He’ll be facing the Dodgers for the first time in his two-season MLB career.
