Last year the Marlins took advantage of the pandemic shortened season to secure a winning record with the baseball betting odds. With that came the first Marlins playoff in 17 years. However, with a full 2021 schedule, the Marlins are going back to their old ways. Miami is far below .500 and out of sight for a National League playoff spot. Gravity for the Marlins is a payroll that is among the lowest in all of baseball. Counter to that is a Dodgers team with the biggest payroll in MLB. The defending World Series champions draw considerable handle.
