Marlins @ Dodgers
Marlins +1.5 is supported by Miami already posting a 5-4 loss and 2-1 win in the first two games of the series, Sandy Alcantara bringing a 3.05 ERA and 1.11 WHIP, and the Dodgers still missing Mookie Betts.

This runline dog is playable because Miami already proved it can keep this series tight, Sandy Alcantara is in good enough form to shorten the gap, and Los Angeles is still missing key pieces behind the ace.
The first two games already killed the talent-gap argument
Miami lost 5-4 on Monday and won 2-1 in the first game Tuesday. That is a split series, and both results stayed well inside a plus 1.5 ticket.
Alcantara can keep this close
Sandy Alcantara carries a 3.05 ERA and 1.11 WHIP into the nightcap. Tyler Glasnow has been excellent, but Miami does not need to win the pitching matchup outright for this bet to cash.
The Dodgers are still missing depth
Mookie Betts remains on the injured list, and Los Angeles is also carrying bullpen absences on the current injury sheet. That matters when you are grabbing an extra run in a game that already profiles as tight.
Decision
Marlins +1.5 is playable because the series has already been decided on the margins, Alcantara gives Miami a stable starting path, and the Dodgers are not at full depth behind Glasnow. Take the extra run.
