Riding a three-game win streak and some late-inning momentum, the Marlins will try to close out their West Coast swing with another win this afternoon against the Giants. First pitch at Oracle Park is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. EST.
Miami (33–45) leads the season series 3–2 after Wednesday's 8–5 extra-innings win. Otto Lopez's go-ahead single in the 10th helped cap a night that included 13 hits and another strong showing from Kyle Stowers, who finished 2-for-4 with a run scored.
Right-hander Janson Junk (2–0, 2.60 ERA) gets the start for Miami. The 28-year-old will make his second start of the year after five appearances out of the bullpen. He'll be opposed by Giants rookie Hayden Birdsong (3–1, 3.25 ERA), who gave up seven hits and five walks in a 4.1-inning start last week.
San Francisco (44–36) enters the finale tied for second in the NL West but has dropped two straight to Miami. Heliot Ramos continues to pace the offense, hitting .288 with 13 home runs and 44 RBIs, while Wilmer Flores leads the club in runs driven in (54).
Xavier Edwards (.288) and Stowers (.274, 11 HR, 35 RBI) have led the charge for a Marlins offense that's averaged 6.3 runs during its three-game streak.

Marlins vs Giants Predictions and Picks
"Miami took the opening game of this set, but they still aren't a team that strikes fear in the hearts of opposing starting pitchers .... With that said, the Giants are a solid team at home, they have a better lineup, and Birdsong is due to bounce back after a few rough outings. He beat the Marlins earlier this month on the road and should get the job done here. Take the Giants on getaway day here." — Chris King, Winners and Whiners
"Both teams have played 21 games in the month of June so far and the scoring shows a bit of a divide. Miami is averaging 3.81 runs per game in that span, while San Francisco is scoring 4.29 runs per game in the calendar month. These bullpens over the course of the season have been on completely opposite levels thus far as the Marlins are 23rd with a 4.44 reliever ERA while the Giants lead Major League Baseball with a 2.63 bullpen ERA right now. All in all, go with the San Francisco Giants to win this game at home." — Robert Antuann, Statsalt
