Red-Hot Marlins Go For Sweep of Frustrated Diamondbacks

The Miami Marlins are playing with a newfound swagger, and they are on the verge of capping a perfect road trip. Riding a season-high six-game winning streak, the Miami Marlins will look to complete a three-game series sweep of the host Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday in Phoenix.

A Lot of Belief in Miami

The Marlins have won 12 of their last 17 games and have been getting contributions from up and down the lineup. On Saturday, they overcame a four-run deficit in the final two innings for a dramatic 8-7 extra-inning victory. The comeback was sparked by a two-run homer from shortstop Otto Lopez, who is hitting .432 during a nine-game hitting streak.

“There’s a lot of belief now in each other,” Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said. “A lot of belief that we can win games, and win games in a variety of ways.”

“We Deserved to Lose”

While the Marlins are celebrating, the Diamondbacks are fuming. They blew a 7-3 lead late in Saturday’s game, a loss that manager Torey Lovullo attributed to sloppy play, including a costly first-inning error.

“The way I look at it is that we deserved to lose this game,” a blunt Lovullo said. “We didn’t pick up the baseball… We have to play better, plain and simple. We can’t keep wondering when it is going to happen. It is going to happen when we make it happen.” The mindset of a frustrated team is a key topic in our expert betting guide.

A Duel of Opposite Histories

Sunday’s pitching matchup features two pitchers with very different career numbers against their opponent. The Marlins will start right-hander Cal Quantrill (3-7, 5.56 ERA). While Quantrill has been incredibly consistent lately, not allowing more than three earned runs in his last nine starts, he has a poor 6.19 career ERA against Arizona.

The Diamondbacks will counter with lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (3-4, 5.40 ERA), who is coming off his most effective start of the season—six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts. This intriguing matchup will be a key focus on the scores and odds board.

The Finale Stakes

A win for the Marlins would secure their first sweep of the season and cap a perfect 6-0 road trip. For the Diamondbacks, it’s about stopping the bleeding and avoiding an embarrassing sweep at home. As these two NL MLB teams battle, one is trying to stay hot while the other is just trying to find some pride. To see who our experts are backing, check out our daily MLB picks.
