Chicago Cubs vs Miami Marlins Predictions 9/21/2022
Miami enjoyed a promising start to the season, as they were only five games out from .500 at the All-Star break. Since then, the Marlins had a lot of difficulty, never managing to win more than two straight games.
After winning the first game of this series against Chicago 10-3 on Monday and the final game of their series against Washington 3-1 on Sunday, they have a chance to replicate that on Tuesday night.
Miami is in the midst of a six-game homestand that will come to a close this weekend with three games versus Washington. Like the Cubs, the Marlins’ chances of making the postseason were already effectively eliminated.
Jesus Luzardo, a left-handed pitcher, will make his Miami debut on Wednesday. Last Friday against Washington, he pitched for more than six innings while giving up two runs on five hits and a walk.
In his last eight appearances, Luzardo had six quality starts, recording a 3.59 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. This season, he has a 3.75 ERA, 91 strikeouts, and a record of 3-7.
- The Miami Marlins are 6-14 SU in their last 20 games.
- The total went UNDER in 5 of Miami’s previous 6 meetings against the Chi Cubs.
- The Marlins are 4-10 SU in their last 14 matches at home.
