It’s nail biting time for those who put their money on the Marlins before the season.
But for those who wagered the Marlins would finish with more than 64 1/2 wins, those nails became a little bit shorter Tuesday when Monday’s makeup game against the Pirates was canceled.
That meant that instead of 162 games, the Marlins will play just 161.
And with 62 wins going into their game on Tuesday against the Nationals, it left little margin for error. Including Tuesday’s game, the Marlins need to go 3-2 or better in their remaining five games to get over the hump.
