The Miami Marlins have been on a tear in the month of June, boasting an MLB-best 17-5 record and surging in the playoff standings. Their success can be attributed to their offense, which has taken a small ball approach to scoring runs, and their pitching, led by the emergence of Max Meyer.
Marlins’ Winning Formula
The Marlins are in the top-ten in the league in on-base percentage and are the best team in MLB in terms of stolen bases with 88. This strategy has been working like a charm, and the Marlins are now within spitting distance of the playoffs as we close in on the All-Star break.
Max Meyer has been a key factor in the Marlins’ success, going 9-0 this season with a 1.78 ERA and 33 strikeouts in five starts in June. The bullpen has also finally started to round into form, helping Miami hold onto some late leads.
