Despite the Marlins' struggles in consistency, they have shown competitiveness, earning a series win against the Angels. Kyle Stowers has been a standout hitter for Miami, with 10 home runs and 32 RBIs. The team's offense ranks 17th in the league, averaging 4.24 runs per game. However, their pitching has been a weakness, with a 5.24 ERA placing them 28th. Miami has a power ranking of 24 and a 22-33 overall record.

San Francisco Giants Look to Continue Winning Streak in Matchup Against Miami Marlins

The San Francisco Giants are currently seeking a victory to cap off a challenging stretch of road games. Despite facing difficulties, the team has been performing well this season, particularly benefiting from impressive pitching, as seen in their recent 2-0 victory at the beginning of this series. On the other hand, the Miami Marlins have struggled, losing three consecutive home games and six out of their last nine matchups leading into Saturday evening. One player to watch in this upcoming game is Giants pitcher Hayden Birdsong, who has shown promise as both a reliever and starter. Birdsong has displayed consistency, allowing only nine runs in 32.2 innings of work this season. In contrast, Marlins pitcher Ryan Weathers has solid statistics, but has only made three starts and has yet to pitch more than 5.2 innings in a game. Given the Marlins' bullpen's high 4.70 ERA, this could pose a challenge for the team in the upcoming game.
