They are also 5.5 games back of a wild card spot. The team has a 25-24 record when playing on the road and has won seven of their last nine games. In their most recent game on Friday, July 25, they defeated the Brewers 5-1. Janson Junk will be starting for the Marlins on Saturday, with a 4-2 record and a 3.09 ERA in six starts and five relief appearances this season. The Marlins are 6-5 when Junk has pitched and have a 5-1 record when he starts on the road. Miami is hitting .253 this season, ranking ninth in the league, and has hit the fifth fewest home runs. They have a batting average of .263 on the road, .249 in July, and .235 against National League Central opponents.

Quintana, who is 7-3 with a 3.49 ERA in 14 starts, has a successful track record when pitching, with the team boasting a 10-4 record when he takes the mound.

Upcoming Baseball Showdown: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Miami Marlins - Miami Favored to Win

Two competitive baseball teams are set to face off in an upcoming game. The Milwaukee Brewers have demonstrated impressive performance by winning 13 of their last 16 games, while the Miami Marlins have also shown strength by winning seven of their last nine games. I am inclined to predict a close game, leaning towards Miami due to their favorable odds. Janson Junk of the Marlins has maintained a solid 3.16 road ERA and has contributed to Miami's 5-1 record when he starts away games. On the other hand, the Brewers will rely on Jose Quintana, who has struggled with a 5.12 home ERA, contributing to Milwaukee's less-than-ideal home record. Considering the Marlins' strong road performance, particularly against teams like the Brewers, I anticipate an early advantage for Miami and a significant win. Betting on Miami to cover may offer value in this matchup.
