Dead President Picks' Marlins vs Dodgers Best Bet: Back Freeman vs. Quantrill
The Miami Marlins (12-17) and Los Angeles Dodgers (21-10) will clash in LA on Wednesday with Miami looking to avoid getting swept.
Cal Quantrill (2-2, 7.83 ERA) will start for Miami, but I'm going to fade him with pick as I'm backing Freddie Freeman to notch 2+ total bases.
The Dodgers' first baseman is in a strong position to cash this prop as he has outstanding numbers against Quantrill. In fact, Freeman has gone 8–for-15 with three extra-base hits in his career against Quantrill.
Back Freemand to continue that success tonight.
Pick: Freddie Freeman 2+ Total Bases (-110)

Additionally, Giants' starter Landen Roupp has had issues facing righties this season as he's allowing a .369 wOBA with a .230 ISO.
