This much is true: The Miami Marlins have a winning record nearly a month into the season and have won their share of key series early.
This much is also true: The Miami Marlins have failed to be competitive against two of the main teams they need to find ways to be competitive against.
The splits: 2-6 against the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves, including dropping both series so far against the Mets and being drubbed 11-0 and no-hit for seven-plus innings by the Braves on Monday in their first game of the season against the five-time defending NL East champions; 10-5 against everyone else, winning series against the Minnesota Twins, Philadelphia Phillies, Arizona Diamondbacks, San Francisco Giants and Cleveland Guardians.
