Miami Marlins vs San Francisco Giants Spread Pick
- Miami Marlins
Miami has not fared well on the road, but San Francisco is hard to back as a home favorite. The Giants are just 2-4 as favorites overall and as a result are -$131 at home for bettors to start the year. Perez is coming off a sharp start for the Marlins and the bullpen will shut the door. Take Miami to win on the road.
