Recent Performance Trends


The Marlins have been struggling recently, having lost their last three games. Their pitching staff has been under pressure, conceding a high number of runs in each outing. The bullpen's ERA has ballooned to over 11 in recent games, indicating challenges in containing opposing hitters. Offensively, while they managed to score seven runs against the Dodgers on April 30th, consistency remains elusive as they were limited to just one run in their most recent game against the Athletics.


On the other hand, the Dodgers have been riding high with dominant performances. They scored double-digit runs in their last two encounters with Miami and have shown formidable offensive prowess throughout this stretch. Their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities makes them a challenging opponent for any team.
