The betting public is all over the Guardians (40-22) on Saturday night at Miami (22-41) as the third most popular wager of the day’s MLB slate. That’s a risky wager on an offense that has been held to 3 runs or less in four of their last five games, but then again the Marlins had dropped four in a row prior to Friday night’s 3-2 series opening win.
Before Betting on June 8 Guardians vs Marlins
Miami’s losing streak this week all occurred in home games, which isn’t a surprise considering this club is just 12-23 on their own turf this season. On the flip side, Cleveland is above .500 on the road at 19-14 which is a big factor in oddsmakers perceiving them to even up the series with a win on Saturday night. The Guardians were 4-2 on their previous road trip.
Cleveland has scored 3 runs or less in four of their last five while the Marlins were shut out twice this week so game two could be another prime spot for the pitchers of both squads. Ben Lively (5-2, 2.84 ERA) takes the ball vs. Miami on Saturday night with the Guardians having won six of his nine starts this season including four in a row. The right-hander gave up 2 ER over 5.2 IP in his most recent outing in a win over Washington and has pitched into the 6th inning in five of his last six.
Miami sends Roddery Munoz up from Triple-A for Saturday’s scheduled start. His last outing back in early May was a rough one, giving up 6ER in 4.2 IP but that was also against the Dodgers’ potent offense. That being said despite their recent struggles at the plate, Cleveland still ranks 3rd in MLB scoring 5.02 runs/game.

June 8 Guardians vs Marlins Prediction & Pick
Cleveland has lost four of their last five, but this is also a team that had rattled off wins in 12 of 13 games prior to that. The miniature slump should end on Saturday, as Lively has been very solid in 2024 while Miami sends a minor league call-up to the mound.
