Key Storylines

Pitching Form

David Festa (2–2, 5.40 ERA) has significant strikeout potential, with 9.3 K/9 and six strikeouts in his last outing against Detroit. However, he’s allowed 6 HR in 36.2 innings and averages just 4.5 innings per start. Festa’s reverse splits exaggerate his performance against right-handers, but his recent form suggests he could restrain Miami’s offense early.

Eury Pérez (0–2, 6.19 ERA) has not reached five innings in any of his four 2025 starts, struggling with control (5.6 BB/9) and a 1.50 WHIP. His frequent command issues impact his performance. Miami has gone 2–2 in these starts, looking to recover offensively and begin a new winning streak after being cooled off yesterday.

Bullpen Usage

The Twins’ bullpen demonstrated depth in Wednesday’s opener, providing five relief innings in a close 2–1 victory. Miami’s bullpen also performed well yesterday, and both clubs expect similar contributions from their relievers today.

Recent Team Streaks

• The Under is 25‑18 in Marlins home games.
• Miami’s eight-game win streak ended with Wednesday’s loss.
• The teams have split the first two games of their series.
