The Miami Marlins will go against the Texas Rangers in MLB action in Globe Life Field, TX, on Friday, August 4, 2023, at 8:05 PM ET.

 

Miami ended a two-game losing streak by defeating the Phillies at home in extra innings on Wednesday night after returning from a five-run hole.

 

With a record of 58-51 heading into Thursday, the Marlins were third in the NL East, 12.5 matches down from first-place Atlanta.

 

For the final wild-card berth in the National League postseason picture, they were deadlocked with the Brewers.

 

As the Marlins overcame a 5-0 deficit on Wednesday, Miami received four hits from Josh Bell (two runs, two RBI) and three from Jesus Sanchez (two RBI).

 

Jazz Chisholm Jr. (his 10th), Jorge Soler (his 26th), and Bell (his 12th) all hit home runs in the triumph.

 

Braxton Garrett pitched five innings, giving up three runs on six hits, two walks, and five strikeouts while not influencing the outcome.

 

Tanner Scott (5-4) earned the victory in relief by pitching a 1-2-3 12th inning with two strikeouts.

 

As he makes his 23rd start of the year, Jesus Luzardo is anticipated to receive the ball for Miami in this game. In 109.1 innings of work this year, he has an 8-5 record, a 3.38 ERA, a 1.184 WHIP, 27 walks, and 129 strikeouts.

 

Luzardo’s most recent start, against the Tigers at home on Sunday, didn’t affect the decision.

 

He pitched 4.2 innings in a game the Marlins eventually won 8-6, giving up four runs on seven hits while walking three and striking out three.

 

In this game, Luzardo makes the fifth appearance of his career and third start versus the Rangers. In 15.2 innings pitched against them, he is 0-1 with a 2.30 ERA, 1.149 WHIP, seven walks, and 18 strikeouts.

 

On August 24, 2020, with the A’s, Luzardo made his lone career start at Globe Life Field and was unsuccessful. In 6.2 innings of work, he gave up three runs on seven hits, two walks, and seven strikeouts as Oakland lost 3-2.

 

  • The total stayed UNDER in 8 of Miami’s last 12 outings.
  • The Marlins are 5-13 SU in their last 18 matches.
  • The Miami Marlins are 1-10 SU in their last 11 games on the road.

Miami Marlins vs Texas Rangers Predictions 8/4/2023

 

Texas thrashed the White Sox on Wednesday night for their second consecutive victory after losing seven of their previous nine games.

 

With a record of 62-46 as of Thursday, the Rangers led the Astros by a half-game in the AL West. Sam Huff, a run, had three hits for Texas on Wednesday, leading a 15-hit outburst that led to a victory.

 

As the Rangers won, they ran out to a 7-0 lead after two innings and coasted the rest of the way thanks to home runs from Marcus Semien (16th), Corey Seager (16th), and Josh Jung (21st). Dane Dunning (9-4) tossed 7.2 innings, gave up one run on three hits, a walk, and 11 Ks.

 

After being acquired by the Rangers at the trade deadline, Jordan Montgomery is starting this game for the 22nd time this season. Montgomery has a slate of 6-9, a 3.42 ERA, a 1.248 WHIP, 35 walks, and 108 Ks in 121 innings.

 

In his most recent start, which took place last Friday at home against the Cubs, Montgomery was unsuccessful. In a game the Cardinals lost 3-2, he pitched six innings, surrendering three runs on five hits, four walks, and 3 strikeouts.

 

Montgomery is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, eight walks, and 12 strikeouts in 18 innings pitched across his previous three starts.

 

In this game against the Marlins, Montgomery makes his third career start. He pitched against them for 11 innings and has a 0-1 record, a 1.64 ERA, a 1.182 WHIP, three walks, and 10 strikeouts.

 

Montgomery takes the mound at Globe Life Field for the first time in his 131st major league appearance and 130th start.

 

  • The total remained UNDER in 5 of Texas’ last 6 matches.
  • The total hung OVER in 4 of the Rangers’ last 5 matches against Miami.
  • The Texas Rangers are 10-2 SU in their last 12 matches at home.

Miami Marlins vs Texas Rangers. The MLB projection for this game is the Texas Rangers. Since the All-Star break, the Marlins struggled, as evidenced by their 5-12 record as of Thursday.

 

Luzardo will be throwing for Miami in this game, but he had his share of problems lately, going winless in three of his last starts and not making it through the fifth inning in two of them.

 

The Marlins’ offensive struggles continued throughout the season, which is problematic when facing the league’s most explosive offensive opponent.

 

Montgomery should be able to improve its win-loss record with better offensive support quickly. The Rangers’ strength at home contributes to their victory in this game. The Texas Rangers will win to a predicted score of 8-3.
