What happened: The Miami Marlins host the San Diego Padres in a game that has not yet started, tied 0-0. Miami carries a nine-game losing streak into the series while San Diego has dropped its last two.
Why it matters: Both clubs sit near .500 in the standings, with Miami at 49-48 and San Diego at 48-50, keeping the series relevant to the middle of the field. A Marlins win would snap their longest slide of the stretch; a Padres win would extend Miami's skid to double digits.
By the numbers: Marlins: 49-48, scoring 4.6 runs per game, allowing 4.4. Padres: 48-50, scoring 4.2, allowing 4.3. Miami is priced as a slight favorite with the total set at 9.0.
What to watch: Watch whether Miami can end its nine-game losing streak or extends it against a Padres team that has lost two in a row.
