Miami Marlins
Arizona's Wild Card push meets a Miami club that owns four wins in five season meetings, while Merrill Kelly's lefty split and Tuesday's extra-inning grind make the finale more volatile than the home-favorite price suggests.

Injury Report
Miami lost closer Pete Fairbanks to the 15-day IL on September 15 with nerve irritation, removing a key late-inning arm; Owen Caissie and Max Meyer are also done for 2026. Arizona still has A.J. Puk and Ryan Thompson sidelined, but Corbin Burnes, Zac Gallen and Michael Soroka have recently returned. Corbin Carroll has played both games this series after last week's back discomfort.
Key Players
Key Matchup Edge
Miami's left-handed bats get the clearest matchup edge against Merrill Kelly, who carries a 4.97 ERA and has allowed an .857 OPS to left-handed hitters. Kyle Stowers, Griffin Conine and Jakob Marsee can pressure that split, while Ryan Gusto enters with the lower ERA and a less damaging platoon profile.
3 Things to Watch
- Kelly's vulnerability to left-handed power
- Miami bullpen without Pete Fairbanks
- Arizona's Wild Card urgency
Betting Breakdown
Arizona enters the finale at 80-72 and still has postseason pressure, but Miami has controlled this season series 4-1 and just won Tuesday's game 4-2 in extras. The market still leans Arizona at home, with FanDuel listing the Diamondbacks around -134 and a total of 8.5, yet the starting-pitching matchup leaves room for the underdog. Ryan Gusto brings a 4.14 ERA, while Merrill Kelly owns a 4.97 ERA and has allowed an .857 OPS to left-handed hitters. That split matters against a Miami lineup with Kyle Stowers, Griffin Conine and Jakob Marsee available from the left side. Miami is also 3-2 over its last five and has covered the first two games of this series. Arizona's counter is its deeper late-game relief structure and the urgency of a Wild Card chase, although the lineup went 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position Tuesday. The key question is whether Kelly can avoid early traffic and hand a lead to Arizona's stronger bullpen before Miami's left-handed bats create damage.
Miami Betting Outlook
Miami is 75-77 overall and 30-44 on the road, but its recent form is better than the season mark suggests. The Marlins are 3-2 over their last five and have won four of five meetings with Arizona this year, including Tuesday's extra-inning victory. Ryan Gusto's 4.14 ERA gives Miami a workable starting point, and the offense owns a useful platoon path against Kelly. Stowers' left-handed power, Conine's thump and Marsee's speed can all stress an Arizona starter who has struggled more against lefties. The concern is late-game depth after closer Pete Fairbanks landed on the IL, making early run support especially important.
Arizona Betting Outlook
Arizona is 80-72 and 43-34 at Chase Field, but the Diamondbacks have dropped three of their last five and have not separated from Miami in this series. Merrill Kelly is the swing factor: his 4.97 ERA and .857 OPS allowed to left-handed hitters create real matchup pressure against Miami's lefty-heavy pockets. Arizona still has the stronger bullpen profile and multiple high-leverage arms back, which gives the home side a path if Kelly can keep the game close through five. Offensively, Corbin Carroll remains the catalyst after homering Monday and collecting another hit Tuesday, while Gabriel Moreno has supplied steady contact and power.
