The Dodgers took 2 of 3 games against the Marlins when these two squads met in Los Angeles, May 14-16.
Jorge Alfaro hit a tiebreaking homer in the 8th inning, and the Miami Marlins ended the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 9-game winning streak with a 5-4 victory on Monday night.
Starling Marte advanced to 3rd base on a wild pitch and continued home when catcher Will Smith’s throw got away from Justin Turner for a game-ending error in the 10th inning, giving the Marlins a 2-1 win over the Dodgers on Thursday.
Jesús Aguilar hit a tie-breaking walk off 3-run homer in the 9th inning and the Miami Marlins defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-6 Thursday night for their 3rd straight win.
Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers come into this series at a 53-31 record and winners of 9 straight games. Despite having the 2nd best record in baseball, the Dodgers are 0.5 games back from the league best San Francisco Giants in the NL West.
The Dodgers have one of the best offenses in baseball. They are 4th in the MLB in scoring, averaging 5.1 runs per game, 2nd with a .337 on-base percentage, and 9th with 107 home runs hit.
LA had 3 of their players named as All-Star reserves on Sunday (Max Muncy, Mookie Betts, and Chris Taylor) and will join manager Dave Roberts and the LA coaching staff at Coors Field in Denver on Thursday, July 13.
Miami Marlins
The Marlins have not played that well this year. They have lost 3 of their last 5 games. Miami 35-46 and are last in the National League East, 8.5 games back from the New York Mets for the division lead.
Miami has gotten strong pitching so far this year. They have a 3.34 ERA which is 8th best in baseball. Their offense has not been as good as they are only scoring 3.93 runs per game, which is 28th best in baseball. The Marlins also haven’t hit the deep ball well, with only 77 home runs which is 28th best.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Miami Marlins MLB Prediction:
This series will wrap up today with a potential Marlins sweep on the line. Each game has been a result of the Dodgers bullpen allowing a tiebreaking run in the 8th inning or later.
I’d be shocked if the Marlins are able to sweep the Dodgers simply because LA is one of the best teams in the league.
Take the Dodgers to close out the series on a high note.
