**lakerboy** · 09-28-20, 08:05 PM

Love it. When the Marlins make the playoffs what do they do?

Win the world series. Covid Marlins

**CanuckG** · 09-28-20, 08:06 PM

Marlins +1.5 and ML will be getting some love

**jjgold** · 09-28-20, 08:07 PM

Most of the series are tossups no such thing as a favorite

**hehfest** · 09-28-20, 08:17 PM

Considering your name is "THE LOCK" and Lakerboy posted in here.....This really must be the "LOCK OF THE.......CENTURY".

**JMobile** · 09-28-20, 08:27 PM

No way

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

**TheLock** · 09-29-20, 09:56 AM

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

**Carseller4** · 09-29-20, 09:59 AM

Darvish and the Cubs in Game 1 is a lock.

Will the Marlins be able to win the next 2?

I doubt it.

**moses millsap** · 09-29-20, 10:05 AM

Marlins and reds getting a lot of public love

Darvish isn’t starting Game 1

**pologq** · 09-29-20, 12:38 PM

marlins deserve the love. live dog.

**spippen** · 09-29-20, 07:37 PM

Hope so. Cubs are a boring team anyways.

**thetrinity** · 09-29-20, 07:43 PM

seems legit

**PaperTrail07** · 09-29-20, 11:21 PM

gonna be colder and possible rain....Hendricks owns the Marlins hitters.....

**TheMetsSuck** · 09-30-20, 12:31 AM

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

Which Marlins hitters specifically?

**TheLock** · 09-30-20, 10:19 AM

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

**TheLock** · 09-30-20, 10:26 AM

Another thing I can’t stop thinking about......

The Marlins had the 2nd most difficult strength of schedule in all of MLB this season

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.

**stake1** · 09-30-20, 10:53 AM

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

**PaperTrail07** · 09-30-20, 11:16 AM

I just meant in general he will....its gonna be colder....ground ball rate is $$.....I just feel this is Hendricks ZONE......also, they lefties from the cubs could benefit from the wind...

2 lime drives for the Marlins top of the first. No hits, though.

**TheLock** · 09-30-20, 02:37 PM

Marlins 1st and 2nd no outs and can’t score

**TheLock** · 09-30-20, 02:55 PM

Marlins 0-9 with RISP

**TheLock** · 09-30-20, 03:01 PM

Marlins runner on 2B with no outs three straight innings

1-0 Cubs

**RockBottom** · 09-30-20, 04:48 PM

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

interesting note

**TheLock** · 09-30-20, 05:06 PM

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.

**Chi_archie** · 10-01-20, 10:22 AM

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

The most ridiculous postponement of a game that I can ever recall

I hear you.
This is the Cubs official statement.

"forecasted inclement conditions,"
