The San Francisco Giants and Miami Marlins close out their three-game series at Oracle Park on June 26, 2025, in a matinee that pairs one of the NL’s most balanced contenders against a struggling Marlins squad in desperate need of traction. The Giants have taken control of the series behind stellar pitching and timely offense, while Miami continues to search for consistency as they battle through a tough road trip that has exposed their vulnerabilities on both sides of the ball. San Francisco enters the finale at 44–35, firmly in the NL West race and buoyed by a deep starting rotation and bullpen that’s helped them dominate late innings and one-run situations all season. Logan Webb or Kyle Harrison is expected to take the hill for the Giants, both of whom have helped the club post a team ERA of just 3.26, among the top five in the league, while the offense has done enough to support that staff behind the efforts of Heliot Ramos, Thairo Estrada, and recently added slugger Rafael Devers. Ramos has been red-hot, batting near .280 with clutch hits in June, and Devers’ presence lengthens the lineup and has made it harder for opposing pitchers to navigate innings. The Giants’ defense, too, has been steady, and their +46 run differential is reflective of their ability to execute in all three phases.

Meanwhile, the Marlins limp into this game with a 32–45 record, having been outscored by nearly 70 runs on the season and struggling with a team ERA north of 5.00. The Marlins’ offense has often stalled, especially against elite pitching like they’re facing in this series, and they’ve hit the team total under in 27 of their last 42 games, underscoring their difficulty putting up runs. Offensively, Jazz Chisholm Jr. remains the heartbeat of the lineup, but he’s had little help around him, and the inconsistency from top to bottom has been a defining characteristic of their season. Edward Cabrera or Braxton Garrett could take the mound for Miami, though neither has fared well in recent outings, especially when the bullpen is asked to carry multiple innings. Still, despite their overall struggles, Miami has a winning ATS record at 41–35, a sign that they often keep games competitive even when results don’t fall in their favor. The Marlins are also trying to evaluate young talent and manage development as part of a likely long-term rebuild, and games like this against postseason-caliber opponents serve as benchmarks for how far they need to go. If San Francisco can continue to suppress Miami’s offense and get early runs on the board, they’ll be in good shape to complete the sweep and extend their momentum into a critical weekend series. The Giants have been especially sharp in day games at home, using the familiar dimensions of Oracle Park to their advantage, while Miami’s cross-country road fatigue could be a factor. Expect San Francisco to ride its balanced roster, playoff urgency, and strong home form as they look to close out June with authority, while the Marlins once again seek signs of life before the All-Star break.
