I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the Marlins’ 23-21 record all morning because I feel very strongly that the San Francisco Giants should at least win this series.
The Marlins do not score a lot (155 runs scored - 28th in MLB). They do not prevent runs (207 runs allowed - 18th in MLB). They do not field very well. FanGraphs has them at -4.1 Defensive Runs — worse than the Phillies, who the Giants were able to sweep in part because of that team’s poor defense. Now here come the Marlins with an even worse grouping.
