Marlins Cash the Runline as Dodgers' Road Woes Continue in Miami

The Marlins delivered exactly what we projected, taking down the Dodgers 6-4 at loanDepot park and cashing our +1.5 runline with room to spare. This wasn't just a cover—Miami won outright, validating every angle we hammered in the original analysis.

Edward Cabrera and the Marlins' bullpen did the heavy lifting, keeping LA's bats quiet enough while Miami manufactured just enough offense to pull away late. The Dodgers looked every bit the road-weary squad we flagged—seven games in seven days will do that—and their taxed bullpen couldn't hold the line when it mattered. Meanwhile, Miami's fresher arms and home-field edge made all the difference in a tight contest that was never really in doubt for runline backers.

The starter ERA gap we cited (Pérez 3.94 vs Sheehan 5.08) played out almost perfectly, with Miami's pitching staff outperforming expectations while the Dodgers couldn't overcome their missing firepower and fatigue. This was textbook value hunting: a market that underpriced Miami's legitimate advantages in a close matchup. The 54.7% fair probability we pegged for the runline? Try 100% after tonight. Dodgers backers got what they deserved for fading the math. We'll take the W and move on.
