Key Stats
Miami Marlins
The Miami Marlins are looking to be a bit better at the plate as the team is 18th in the majors with a .253/.316/.393 team slash line while scoring 4.27 runs per game. The lineup has been aggressive as they are 23rd in baseball with 304 combined walks at the plate. Left fielder Kyle Stowers has been incredible at the plate as he has a .949 OPS with 23 home runs, 62 RBI, 51 runs scored, and four stolen bases on five attempts.
Right-hander Janson Junk is going to be taking the mound for the Miami Marlins for Saturday’s game and is doing well thus far as he is 4-2 with a 3.09 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP in 55.1 innings of work. He is doing an incredible job at being able to keep the ball in the park, as hitters have one home run hit over the course of the year after allowing three in eight innings in 2024. Junk has not faced the Brewers in his career, so it will be interesting to see how he does in this start.
Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers are looking for some more offense as they are currently 19th in the bigs with a .707 team OPS while averaging 4.76 runs per game. The Brew Crew has been swiping bases with regularity as they are tied with the Chicago Cubs for second place with 118 stolen bases on 155 tries. Designated hitter Christian Yelich has been hitting at a good rate as he has a .258/.335/.443 slash line with 19 homers, 66 RBI, 51 runs scored, and 15 steals while being caught five times.
The Milwaukee Brewers are sending veteran lefty Jose Quintana to the hill and pitched well thus far as in his first 14 starts, he is 7-3 with a 3.49 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP in 77.1 innings of work. He has done a good job at getting outs consistently, as he has a .241 opposing batting average up to this point. Quintana has not faced the Marlins since the 2022 season, so this will be a good test for him.

Prediction
Janson Junk has been pitching well lately, as in his previous seven games (six starts), he is 4-2 with a 2.82 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP in 38.1 innings. Both teams are doing well on the mound in July as Miami is second with a 2.63 team ERA in their 20 games this month, while Milwaukee is fourth with a 2.79 team ERA in 19 games. Great pitching and subpar hitting means the under is the better bet to make.
