The Chicago Cubs enter their three-game series opener against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot park with a stronger overall profile, sitting at 79-62 and just a half-game out of the top NL Wild Card spot while leading the majors with 198 home runs and posting the NL's best on-base and slugging percentages. Shota Imanaga starts for Chicago against Janson Junk, with both pitchers carrying similar ERAs around 4.00; Imanaga holds prior success versus Miami. The Marlins, at 71-70 and three games back of the final NL Wild Card, have posted a solid 42-27 home record but enter with a 4-6 mark in their last 10 games and notable absences including Xavier Edwards on the 10-day IL. Recent Cubs injuries to Jacob Webb and others add some uncertainty, while Miami's Kyle Stowers is day-to-day with a hamstring issue. Both clubs have averaged over five runs per game this season, supporting an over/under near eight.
