Will Marlins' Pitching Dominate Cubs at Wrigley Field?

Marlins' Recent Performance


The Miami Marlins are gearing up for an exciting matchup against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Fish have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent games, with a record of one win and two losses in their last three outings. Their pitching has been a focal point, with varying performances that could play a crucial role in the upcoming game.

In their recent victory against the White Sox, the Marlins showcased impressive pitching, allowing only one run and maintaining a low opponent batting average of .133. This strong performance was supported by effective bullpen work, which could be pivotal against the Cubs. However, inconsistencies were evident in other games where they allowed six runs to another Chicago team.


Hitting and Strategy


Offensively, the Marlins have struggled to maintain consistency at bat. In their last three games, they've averaged just over two runs per game. Despite this challenge, there have been glimpses of potential with timely hits and strategic base running that led to crucial runs in tight situations.

The key for Miami will be capitalizing on scoring opportunities while minimizing errors both offensively and defensively. With an on-base percentage hovering around .300 recently, improving plate discipline could provide more chances to score against the Cubbies' pitchers.
