Brewers Looking to Bounce Back Against Marlins
With less than a week remaining in the 2022 season, the MLB Playoff odds have never been tighter in the NL Wild Card race. The Milwaukee Brewers are trying to snag the last spot as they host the Miami Marlins for game two of a series on Friday.
Miami has not played meaningful baseball games for weeks as this season started to fall apart quickly. The Marlins are just 65-91 overall this year, but they have been a much better team on the road this season.
Milwaukee comes into this game with a record of 83-73, but they have lost three of their last four games. The Brewers can still make the playoffs in the NL, but they can’t afford to take on any more losses.
The MLB lines for this game have the Brewers as the moneyline betting favorites at -180 over the Marlins.
Let’s check the latest MLB odds, stats, injury reports, and MLB lines for Marlins vs Brewers. We’ve plenty of Vegas MLB odds for you to consider.
Pitching Guiding the Marlins
The Miami Marlins might be having a rough season, but they continue to have a dominant starting rotation. Sandy Alcantara is the leader of that starting rotation, and he will take the mound in this MLB game.
Alcantara enters play on Friday night with an overall record of 14-8 to go along with an ERA of 2.32. Miami has a team ERA of 3.91 on the year, and they would have a much better record if they could find more offense.
Avisail Garcia belted a grand slam in the win on Thursday night, but the Marlins are a team without a ton of power. Miami has hit just 139 home runs this season, and they will have to find a way to score against Burnes.
Brewers Have to Find Offense
After a crushing loss on Thursday night, manager Craig Counsell said, “We still have an opportunity in front of us and got to come out and play a good game tomorrow.” Milwaukee Brewers needs to find a more consistent offense if they are going to sneak into the postseason.
The Brewers are hitting just .235 as a team this season, and they have had to rely on the long ball at times. Rowdy Tellez leads the way with 34 home runs, but the Brewers will need some of their other stars to step up in this game.
On Friday night, Corbin Burnes will be on the mound for this crucial game; he is 11-8 with a 3.11 ERA. Burnes is the reigning Cy Young Award winner, and Milwaukee needs their ace to deliver a huge start on Friday night.
