    The Marlins will beat the Cubs and advance to NLDS

    The Marlins hit better against good pitching than they do against guys with 7+ ERA’s

    And Cubs are going to have trouble scoring runs against Sandy, Pablo and Sixto.

    Marlins will be dogs all three games.

    Sixto and Sandy 2 of the most underrated pitchers in baseball. Lotta people sleeping on them cause they don't really know baseball. Having said that I'd still rather have Cubs lineup and playoff experience but this is a bad matchup for Cubs overall. Basically 3 coinflips. If Yu is on Cubs will win his start. After that coinflips.

    I think there is one thing everyone can agree on here

    Pat Venditto will decide this series, one way or another

    Marlins had the 3rd best road record in MLB (behind only Dodgers and Rays).

    Darvish and the Cubs in Game 1 is a lock.

    Will the Marlins be able to win the next 2?

    I doubt it.

    They should fill Marlins stadiums with Bartman cutouts down both lines.

    The Marlins have 7 rookies on their roster

    All 7 made their MLB debuts this season

    The Cubs haven’t played the Marlins yet in 2020

    I don't know how you can say this.
    Miami went 3 and 5 down the stretch when it mattered, and while it may be true that they beat the Yankees 2 out of 3 they beat Yankee Hall of Fame starters Clarke Schmidt and J A Happ while doing so.
    And the other win was against the former Jethro Tull member Ian Anderson now pitching for the Braves.

    Hendricks so tough. I agree if Marlins can get into the Cub pen? But tough match today vs him

    Cubs quit hitting consistantly after 2016. 2020 Cubs at home OPS of .669 isn't going to win many games.

    5-1 Marlins win.

    Cubs only run was a HR that cleared wall by 5 feet. Game could have easily been 8-1 Marlins.

    Let’s close this thing out tomorrow.

    should I take this special promo from betrivers for the max?


    Sixto Sanchez to pitch 7 or more complete innings, allow under 2.5 earned runs and Marlins to win (MLB, 10/1). +950
