Miami Marlins Form

Miami come into this series with San Francisco on the back of only their fourth win in their previous 13 matchups.

The Marlins’ rough run started with a 9-5 defeat in Philadelphia, and continued as they then lost 7-3 and 4-0 at the New York Mets.

They avoided being swept by the Mets, winning the final meeting 3-2, but they quickly returned to losing ways as they were beaten 9-6, 3-1 and 10-8 at home by Arizona.

Miami’s losing skid reached five games with 6-3 and 14-2 losses to the Chicago Cubs, but they were able to snap that sequence with a 7-2 victory in the series finale.

The Marlins then went out on the road to Colorado and sandwiched a 9-8 win over the Rockies with 3-2 and 8-2 defeats, before winning the series finale 12-8.

San Francisco Giants Form

San Francisco enter this series on an inconsistent run of form, having gone 6-6 in their previous 12 games.

The Giants began this sequence by snapping a four-game skid with a 6-0 shutout victory when they hosted Atlanta.

They then bounced back from a 2-0 defeat in Oakland with a 4-2 win over A’s, and built on that victory with 5-3 and 4-1 home wins over the Chicago White Sox.

San Francisco missed out on the series sweep, losing the final meeting 6-2, before travelling to Seattle where they lost 6-5 and 4-3 either side of a 4-3 victory over the Mariners.

The Giants then made a winning start to the series in Milwaukee, downing the Brewers 5-4, only to lose the next two meetings, 5-3 and 6-0.

Verdict

San Francisco have repeatedly got the better of Miami in recent seasons, and that trend is unlikely to change.

Starter Blake Snell has given up very little in recent times, so we expect him to set the Giants on their way to victory.
