Remember how good the Miami Marlins had been lately? Well, that’s old news now because the Marlins are now coming into this series against the always explosive San Diego Padres who while coming off a loss against Cleveland, will be on the lookout to put the Marlins through the ringer, especially with the proximity they hold to the first place in their NL West division, with only one game separating them from the first place Los Angeles Dodgers. In order to score this pivotal first game of the series win, the Padres will be relying on RHP Nick Martinez, who will surely be out to take down Miami as swiftly and fast as possible. For the Marlins on the other hand, the task of ending their losing streak will be handed over to LHP Jesus Luzardo, who would not see any troubles in having a win against the Pirates be the third in his season so far.
Game Preview
For the Padres, the lead in the NL West could’ve come even closer yesterday if they would’ve been able to fend off the Cleveland Guardians in the second game of their doubleheader that saw San Diego take the early game and lose the latter one. Still though, if there is one thing that baseball fans know the Padres always bring to the table, is their unique style of volatile baseball, but volatile in a very positive way. With the Padres you can get solid, sound baseball outings, or you can get over the top, Hollywood style outings, it all basically depends on which day it is and how the team feels like playing.
They have all the right weapons in their batting order, and their starting rotation and bullpen reads like a perfect department that any team would want to have. So, if there was ever a time for the Padres to commence a true attack on the Dodgers for the lead of their division it’s right now, tonight against the Marlins, which is why a solid outing will be expected from righty Nick Martinez and company.
Miami on the other hand had been playing some very good baseball, some might even say that they were playing some of the most effective baseball lately. But then, they did a usual Miami Marlins stunt and got back on the losing track of the game, a place where they do not want to be if they want to be able to put some pressure in the NL East division. What is definitely true though about this team is that its offense cannot only rely on what 2B Jazz Chisholm Jr. can do alone.
Yes, he has been the shining star of this team’s offense, but he can’t do everything alone. If the Marlins want to avoid falling further into a losing rut, then the offense needs to step up and help Chisholm Jr. and starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo, because if they don’t the Padres will be having fish for dinner tonight.
