Miami Marlins Betting Odds
In some ways it is incredible that the Miami Marlins have actually won two World Series championships. Few if any other franchises in Major League Baseball play in a worse market with such few fans and low revenue. But those world championships from 1997 and 2003 were the clear exception to the rule. Miami has not been able to defy the Big-League gravity of having a low payroll and embarrassing attendance figures. The Marlins have not posted a winning season since 2009 and have finished dead last in the National League West the past two seasons. More of the same is expected for 2020.
Don Mattingly has had the unfortunate task of managing the Marlins since 2016. Managing at Miami must be quite the culture shock for “Donny Ballgame” after he led the mega payroll Los Angles Dodgers from 2011 through 2015. LA prints money and always has a large payroll while playing in front of well over 3.7 million fans per season. Mattingly was a six-time All Star as a player for the New York Yankees, another mega market franchise.
Last year Mattingly reached a new low of Marlins misery as his team went 57-105 with metrics of 29th for runs scored, 25th for batting average, 30th for OPS, 30th for home runs, and 24th for stolen bases. While Miami was godawful at the plate, they were merely mediocre on the mound. The Marlins ranked 20th for staff earned run average, 17th for WHIP, 21st for strikeouts, 13th for quality starts, but a more characteristic 26th for bullpen. The Marlins were a middle of the pack 16th for fielding.
Michael Hill is a perfect cultural fit as president of baseball operations in Miami as his mother us Cuban. Hill is the only Cuban-American holding his current position in Major League Baseball. He was born to an African American father giving him a unique profile as a baseball executive. He joined the Marlins front office in 2002.
Derek Jeter is the chief executive office and a part owner of the Marlins. He was recently voted into the Hall of Fame after a stellar playing career with the New York Yankees from 1995-2014.

2020 Season Preview
Miami will open the season ranked dead last in Major League Baseball with the smallest payroll. There is nothing new about that and it’s likely a portent of things to come. Marlins Park opened in 2012 and was supposed to supply a revenue stream to make the team more competitive. But that has proven to be a false folly as Miami ranks as one of the worst markets in the game. For 2020 there are some new names in the Miami lineup to look at.
Third baseman Jonathan Villar arrives from Baltimore and brings a record of competence. Last year for the Orioles, Villar batted .274 with a slugging percentage of .453 and a .792 OPS. Villar scored an impressive 111 runs to go with 33 doubles, 24 home runs, 73 runs batted in and 40 stolen bases. He was the 2016 Lou Brock Award winner while with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Left fielder Corey Dickerson was with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies in 2019. Dickerson was an All Star in 2017 with the Tampa Bay Rays and won a Rawlings Gold Glove in 2018 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Dickerson missed most of last season but still managed a batting average of .304 with a slugging percentage of .565 and OPS of.906. Dickerson scored 33 runs with 28 doubles, 12 home runs, and 59 runs batted in while playing in just 78 games.
Right hander Sandy Alcantara is one key returnee for the Marlins. Alcantara is expected to anchor the rotation as number one starter. Last year he was named to the National League All Star team. Alcantara had a record of 6-14 but an earned run average of 3.88.
Closer Drew Steckenrider missed most of last year but is expected to resume his role for 2020. He has 142 strikeouts in 113.2 innings for his career.
