Recent Performance Trends


The Marlins have shown a mix of challenges and potential in their recent outings. With a batting average lingering around .188 over the past several games, it's clear that Miami's hitters need to find their rhythm against Los Angeles' formidable pitching staff. Despite these struggles at the plate, there have been glimpses of power and precision, highlighted by an isolated power (ISO) figure that suggests when Marlins hitters connect, they can do significant damage.


On the mound, Miami's bullpen has demonstrated resilience with an earned run average (ERA) showing some promise despite recent outcomes. Their strikeout-to-walk ratio indicates a disciplined approach from Marlins pitchers who will need to maintain control against a potent Dodgers lineup.
