San Francisco Giants poised for offensive success against Miami Marlins

The San Francisco Giants have demonstrated a strong offensive performance recently, scoring a total of 16 runs in their last three road games. This trend is expected to continue in the upcoming game against the Miami Marlins, particularly due to the Giants' success against left-handed pitching this season. On the pitching side, Miami's Weathers has shown inconsistency, conceding six runs in three starts, including three runs in his only home start. With Miami's weak bullpen ranking third-worst in the league, the Giants are poised for offensive success.
