The Miami Marlins are hot right now. 

Having won three straight series entering today’s finale, the Marlins can make it four with a victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks today. And they have to like the setup here, with lefty Ryan Weathers (2-4, 3.49 ERA) on the mound against newly recalled lefty Blake Walston (0-0, 4.92) who came up from Triple-A Reno for this spot start.
