San Diego Padres vs Miami Marlins Prediction: Marlins expected to avoid a sweep

The San Diego Padres and Miami Marlins will square it off at Petco Park. The ꦇPadr𝔉es won the first two games of the series. Can the Marlins avoid a sweep in this one?

The San Diego Padres will eye a sweep following a strong performance in this series' first two games. In game 1, this team could only get off a one-run win but then went on to win 4-0 in game 2. However, they had just lost to the New York Yankees in a prior series to that game while defeating the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves. This season, the San Diego Padres have a 30-28 record, positioning them 6th in the MLB National League standings. 

The Miami Marlins will hope for some positivity in this game following consecutive poor performances. In this series, the visiting Marlins have played below par, scoring just one run in two matches. However, this side has had some top performances in recent series, defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers, and Detroit Tigers. However, this side is seated in the bottom spot of the National League with just a 19-37 record. This team has the worst percentile of 0.339, having failed to click a 0.500 this season. 

I want to trust the Miami Marlins in this one. This side has been literally hot in the past four series, but they have not shown that quality in this series so far. While it is cool that the San Diego Padres are favorites here after strong performances in games one and two, I do not trust them completing a sweep over the Miami Marl♈ins. Take the road team to win here iꦉn a match that should end with a high offensive line.
