Miami Marlins 2024 World Series Odds
For the first time since 2003, the Miami Marlins made the playoffs in a full regular season. The Marlins were swept in the wild card round, but they were there. Gamblers were justifiably skeptical that the Marlins would repeat the feat in 2024. This year Miami has had a stunning fall with metrics that are among the worst in the game. For gamblers who bought into Miami, there has been nothing but a tsunami of deep red ink. As the second half of the season begins, the Marlins have nothing to sell to gamblers. Instead, Miami is a team that gamblers are eager to oppose despite the high prices of their opponents.

Miami Marlins Key Players
LHP Jesus Luzardo is the number-one starter for Miami. Last year, Luzardo was 10-10 with a 3.58 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. It was his best season as a big-league starter. Luzardo is on the 60-day IL. Second starter Braxton Garrett is on the 15-day IL, while third starter Ryan Weathers is on the 60-day IL. With their top three starters out, the Marlins' problems are easy to understand.

It was a rare playoff season for the 2023 Miami Marlins. Manager Skip Schumaker had a tremendous rookie season in producing just the second playoff appearance by Miami since 2003 and the first one in a full season since that 2003 World Series championship campaign. Now, the question is if Miami can do it again. Gamblers are not optimistic about Miami’s prospects after an offseason that was among the worst of any team. The Marlins are being virtually ignored in the future market. And when you consider the alternatives in the National League East, Miami is up against it as usual.
The Marlins had several options entering the offseason. Miami entered the offseason coming off an 84-win playoff season but with significant questions to answer about its chances of replicating that success, especially with Sandy Alcantara out for the season. Then Kim Ng left rather than be demoted, and the Marlins hired Peter Bendix away from the Rays — pretty much the only addition they’ve made all winter.
After hiring Peter Bendix to be the organization’s president of baseball operations, Miami has prioritized bolstering various departments, including those in scouting and player development. Bendix has brought in Gabe Kapler, Rachel Balkovec, Frankie Piliere and Vinesh Kanthan, among others, to join the front office.
Gamblers were correct in doubting if the Marlins would run it back to prove 2023 wasn’t a fluke. It won’t be easy with ace Sandy Alcantara (Tommy John surgery rehab) and All-Star slugger Jorge Soler (who went to the Giants in free agency) not available in 2024.
