Chicago Cubs vs Miami Marlins Prediction: The two teams are in a poor shape

On Friday, MLB action moves to Wrigley Field for a matchup between the Miami Marlins and the Chicago Cubs. Just recently, the Marlins finished a series against the Braves. Miami was swept after losing Thursday's game, which followed losses in the first two games of the match. This week, the Cubs faced off against the Nationals. 

On Monday, the Cubs' team defeated the Nationals by a score of 5-1; however, they went on to lose the next two games by scores of 4-1 and 2-1. On Thursday, Chicago battled back to tie the game in the eighth inning, but in the end, they were defeated 4-3 by a walk-off. Jameson Taillon, who started the game, went three innings and allowed three runs, all of which were earned, on three hits. The Cubs have a record of 20-8 in their past 28 games that were the first game of a series, and they have a record of 15-3 in their last 18 games played on Friday. In Chicago's last 62 opening games of a series, the total has gone under the posted total 38-18-6 times.

On Tuesday, the Marlins were defeated by the Braves by a score of 6-0, and on Wednesday, they were defeated by a score of 14-6. In the championship game, Miami took an early lead of 2-1, but they ultimately lost by a score of 6-3 after allowing 12 hits. The Marlins have a record of 34-71 in their previous 105 games played in game one of a series, but they are undefeated in their last five matches against teams from the NL Central. In their previous 52 games played on Friday, Miami had a record of 17-35.

I believe that the Miami Marlins have a chance to win this match, and we are anticipating that they will put an end to their recent losing streak. On the other hand, due to the Cubs' current dismal form, we anticipate that this game will end with a total score of under.
