The San Diego Padres (49-53) roll into Miami to play the Marlins (42-60) for a weekend series. The Padres are playing well lately, going 8-4 since the All-Star break. Their offense is coming off of two huge games in New York where they scored 15 runs combined including a huge 9th inning rally to win on Thursday.
The Marlins have lost five of their last seven. They dropped the 4-game series between these two teams last weekend in San Diego. They are selling as, much like the Padres, their new pieces have not gelled as expected. Former Padre Mat Latos was just dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
