The Marlins Can Win If…

The Miami Marlins are coming off a 3-2 win against the San Diego Padres. Sandy Alcantara led the pitching effort with seven innings, allowing no earned runs. Jesús Sánchez contributed with a two-run homer, highlighting the team’s ability to deliver in key moments.

The Marlins’ batting average ranks 6th in the league at .253, showing their ability to get on base. Their 169 doubles rank 9th, indicating power in their lineup. With players like Kyle Stowers hitting 22 home runs, they have the potential to score runs quickly.

Cal Quantrill will start for the Marlins with a record of 3-8. Despite his ERA of 5.24, he has shown the ability to limit hits, as seen in his recent six-inning shutout against the Royals. The Marlins’ bullpen will look to support him and secure another victory.

The Brewers Can Win If…

The Milwaukee Brewers recently showed strong performance with a 10-2 win over the Seattle Mariners. Quinn Priester pitched 7 innings, allowing just 2 runs and striking out 6 batters. Brice Turang led the offense with 3 hits and 3 RBIs, while Joey Ortiz and Jackson Chourio each contributed with multiple hits.

The Brewers’ pitching has been a strength, with a team ERA of 3.58, ranking 3rd in the league. Freddy Peralta, with a 2.85 ERA and a 12-4 record, will take the mound. The Brewers also rank 4th in batting average against, holding opponents to a .231 average.

Offensively, the Brewers have key players like Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio, who have been consistent. Yelich has a .260 average with 19 home runs, while Chourio has a .269 average with 16 home runs. The team also ranks 6th in on-base percentage, showing their ability to get runners on base.

The Lean

The Brewers are favored with a moneyline of -229 against the Marlins, who are at +191. The Brewers have a strong pitching edge, ranking 3rd in ERA at 3.58, while the Marlins rank 24th with a 4.48 ERA. My model projects the Brewers to win with a score of 5-3, so the recommendation is to pick the Brewers to win straight up.

The total for the game is set at 8.0. Both teams have decent batting averages, but the Brewers’ pitching should limit the Marlins’ scoring. My model projects a total of 8 runs, matching the line, but with the Brewers’ pitching strength, the recommendation is to go with the under at 8.0 (-103).

Brewers Firing on All Cylinders

Milwaukee won seven straight before the All-Star break and has stayed locked in, taking five of six since returning. The Brewers now sit atop the NL Central and are clicking in all phases despite battling injuries to key bats like Rhys Hoskins, Jake Bauers, and Sal Frelick.

They’re coming off a 10-2 demolition of the Mariners, pounding out 17 hits just one day after their 11-game winning streak ended in a 1-0 loss.

Manager Pat Murphy praised his team’s resilience and focus.

“These guys, you can plan on them responding,” Murphy said. “That’s the ‘who.’ When you put together these clubs, we’re conscious of the ‘who.’”

Milwaukee is also trying to block out the noise of the looming July 31 trade deadline.

“I’m just worried about this group in the clubhouse right now and what’s going on with them,” Murphy added. “I don’t want them looking over their shoulder.”

Freddy Peralta (12-4, 2.85 ERA) will try to win his eighth consecutive start in the opener. He became the first Brewers pitcher since 1992 to win seven straight when he helped beat the Dodgers 8-7 last Saturday.

Peralta hasn’t dominated Miami historically, holding a 3-4 record with a 4.31 ERA in 10 appearances, but he’ll have the home crowd behind him as the Brewers celebrate the 25th anniversary of their ballpark.

Marlins Playing Better Baseball

Miami has quietly improved since the break, winning two of three from both the Royals and Padres. They’ll counter with Cal Quantrill (3-8, 5.24 ERA), who’s coming off his best start of the season — six shutout innings against Kansas City in a 3-1 win.

“It’s nice to finally get through six,” Quantrill said. “It feels like it’s been a talking point, but it’s also been a fight this year. This time we did, and that’s good.”

In that outing, Quantrill allowed just two singles, no walks, and retired the final 10 batters he faced. His key? Mixing up his approach the second time through the lineup.

“A lot of times, it’s what you did before — how you got guys out the first time through the order,” Quantrill said. “(Against the Royals), we had two or three different methods of getting guys out, which made it easier the second time.”

Quantrill has faced the Brewers three times in his career (two starts), posting a 3.86 ERA with no decisions.
