The New York Yankees have struggled with inconsistency, currently sitting 3.5 games behind the division leaders. They recently bolstered their bullpen with new acquisitions. In terms of offense, Ben Rice has been quiet while Anthony Volpe has faced criticism for his performance. Giancarlo Stanton has performed well against the Marlins in the past. With an average of 5.16 runs per game, the Yankees have a strong offense, but their pitching has been mediocre with a 3.98 ERA.

Miami Marlins

Janson Junk will be starting the upcoming series for the Miami Marlins after a strong performance in his recent outing against the Brewers. The right-handed pitcher has been a surprising contributor to the team with a 2.79 ERA this month and impressive overall stats of a 3.28 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. The Marlins have been showing improvement, winning five consecutive series, but struggled in their recent road series against the Cardinals where they gave up 20 runs. Kyle Stowers has been a standout player for the team this month with 10 home runs, while veterans like Jesus Sanchez and young players like Otto Lopez and Augustin Ramirez have also played key roles in the Marlins' success. Despite their offensive contributions, the Marlins are currently averaging 4.23 runs per game, ranking them 19th, while their pitching staff has struggled with a 4.36 ERA, placing them at 24th in the league.
