Analyzing Past Performances


The Marlins' recent outings have been a mixed bag of highs and lows. On March 25th against the Yankees, they showcased their defensive prowess by limiting their opponents to just two runs while clinching four runs themselves. This victory was underpinned by an impressive pitching performance that boasted an ERA of 1.00 and WHIP of 0.7778, highlighting the team's ability to suppress opposing hitters effectively.


However, not all games have swung in favor of MIA. A closer look at their March 23rd encounter with NYM reveals areas needing improvement. Despite putting up a fight, they were overpowered by NYM's offense which led to a 10-2 defeat. The Marlins' pitchers struggled with an ERA soaring to 11.25 and WHIP doubling to 2.375 against NYM's aggressive batting lineup.

Moreover, MIA’s batters need to step up significantly from their .172 batting average displayed during their last victorious outing on March 25th against NYY if they wish to challenge NYM effectively this time around.
