In trying to avoid their seventh straight loss, maybe the Miami Marlins could possibly string a few wins together and finish with fewer than 100 losses. They’ll need to win at least 21 of their final 49 games to do so, a goal that doesn’t seem impossible.
The Miami Marlins have lost seven-in-a-row already this season, in early May. During that stretch, from May 7th through the 15th, Miami was outscored 32-to-8. The streak ended with consecutive shutout losses to the Tampa Bay Rays, who ended up sweeping the Marlins with another two victories late last week.
Of course, the Marlins busted up that streak by sweeping the New York Mets and the Detroit Tigers, including two shutouts of the Mets and winning six straight overall.
