Marlins Lineup

Lineup	Player	Current wOBA	Proj. wOBA (Rest of Season)
1	Christian Yelich	.321	.316
2	Donovan Solano	.283	.284
3	Giancarlo Stanton	.358	.394
4	Logan Morrison	.354	.347

Bold Prediction: Greinke has been pitching well of late and with the Dodgers lineup on fire, they have no trouble pouncing on Eovaldi. Eovaldi allows six earned runs on ten hits in just 5 innings of work. Stanton goes deep for the Marlins, keeping his hot streak alive, but that won’t be enough offense for the Marlins. The Dodgers win 8-3!
