Miami Marlins Team Preview
The Miami Marlins come into this one looking to bounce back from a 7-0 loss at the hands of the Yankees in Monday’s series opener.

Tim Anderson leads the Marlins with 15 strikeouts so far this season while Nick Gordon and Jazz Chisholm Jr. each have a pair of home runs as well this season. A.J. Puk will get the start for the Marlins in this one and is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA and 6 strikeouts this season. The Marlins will meet the Braves after this series.
New York Yankees Team Preview
The New York Yankees come into this game looking to build off of their win over Miami on Tuesday. Juan Soto leads the Yankees with 15 hits and 10 RBIs with a pair of doubles while Anthony Volpe has 15 hits of his own with a team-best .417 batting average this season. Giancarlo Stanton has the unfortunate responsibility of leading the Yankees with 16 strikeouts this season. Carlos Rodon is tabbed to get the start for the Yankees here and is 0-0 with a 2.79 ERA and 7 strikeouts so far this season. The Yankees will face the Guardians following this series.
Marlins vs. Yankees Prediction
I’m on the over here. I think the Yankees tee off on A.J. Puk, but I also don’t trust Carlos Rodon as far as I can throw him. I haven’t forgotten the brutal year that Rodon had in his debut season with the Bronx bombers, and I think the over is the play here as I’m thinking we’re getting runs early and often in this one.
