After a disappointing series-finale loss Sunday in Atlanta, the Miami Marlins return home for seven games to conclude the first half of the 2021 MLB season. Currently sitting 12 games below .500, the Marlins must go on a run as soon as possible to avoid falling out of potential postseason contention, but this will not be easy to do here with the defending World Series Champion Dodgers coming to town for four games.
