"Ending the homestand with a W." - Dodgers
Miami has been subpar at home this season, and they've lost 19 of their past 26 at LoanDepot Park. On the other hand, Los Angeles has been a great team on the road this season, as evidenced by their 41-21 away record.
Miami will tab Tommy Nance for Friday's matchup. The Dodgers offense that he'll have to navigate is averaging 6.3 runs per game in their last seven. They also rank first in the majors in runs and OPS. Nance shouldn't be expected to last too long after the second or third inning tonight, as this is a bullpen game for Miami. Expect the Dodgers lineup to make life hard for the Marlins pitching staff in the series opener.
Tyler Anderson will be on the hill Friday for the visitors. He is 12-2, with a 2.76 ERA in 21 starts on the year. Lately, the left-hander has been better, giving up just four earned runs in his previous 20 frames. Miami's offense has been ice cold, averaging 2.4 runs per game in their previous seven.
The Dodgers' lefty has been solid away from home this year, and he already shut down the Fish last week. That outing, he held them to one run in seven frames, so look for a similar performance from Anderson on Friday.
