Miami Marlins Outlook

The Marlins enter this matchup on a four-game losing streak, having been swept by the Colorado Rockies in their last series. Miami has struggled offensively, ranking near the bottom of the league in runs scored.

Key players to watch:

  • Kyle Stowers (10 HR, 33 RBI) – Leading the team in home runs and RBIs.
  • Eric Wagaman (.249 BA, 4 HR) – A reliable bat in the lineup.
  • Agustin Ramirez (.240 BA, 7 HR) – A power-hitting presence.

Edward Cabrera will need to limit hard contact against Tampa Bay’s high-powered offense to give Miami a chance.

Tampa Bay Rays Outlook

The Rays are riding a three-game winning streak, coming off a series sweep of the Texas Rangers. Tampa Bay has been dominant at home, boasting a 21-19 record at Steinbrenner Field.

Key contributors:

  • Junior Caminero (15 HR, 40 RBI) – A game-changer with elite power.
  • Yandy Díaz (.244 BA, 8 HR) – A consistent offensive force.
  • Jonathan Aranda (.321 BA) – Leading the team in batting average.

Zack Littell has been steady on the mound, posting a 3.89 ERA with solid command. He will look to neutralize Miami’s lineup and extend Tampa Bay’s winning streak.
