Miami Marlins Odds

Miami Marlins 2024 Season Preview

Despite their historical successes—including two World Series titles—the Miami Marlins face challenges as they enter the 2024 MLB season. In the 2023 season, they surpassed expectations with an 84-78 record, clinching a playoff berth. This was achieved through their reliance on exceptional pitching and close-game victories. Looking forward, projections suggest a 77-85 record with slim playoff prospects.

Following a front office overhaul, Peter Bendix replaced Kim Ng as general manager. With offensive deficiencies, the Marlins will lean heavily on their pitching staff. Most notable is Jesus Luzardo, a potential Cy Young Award candidate. Other key players include Edward Cabrera and Anthony Maldonado in pitching, and Luis Arraez, Josh Bell, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. in offense. The team's success hinges on pitching prowess and contributions from Arraez, Bell, and Chisholm to bolster run production, aiming to compensate for offensive shortcomings in the upcoming season.

Betting on the Miami Marlins

Check out below the betting options:

Marlins Spread (Run Line)

When betting on baseball, you’ll be faced with three standard options: the moneyline, over/under and run line.

The run line is a bet on the margin of victory, like a point spread. But because baseball is low scoring, the spread will almost always be -1.5 for the favorite and +1.5 for the underdog. The payouts for each will just be adjusted based on each team’s strength.

Here’s a brief example of a run line for a hypothetical Marlins game:

• Texas Rangers (+1.5)
• Miami Marlins (-1.5)

As shown above, the Marlins are favored by 1.5 runs against the Rangers; the minus sign (-) indicates Miami is the favorite, while a plus sign (+) is used to denote the underdog. Bettors who wanted to back Miami here would be “laying” those 1.5 runs, meaning for their bets to cash the Marlins would need to win by two runs or more. Bettors who selected the Rangers +1.5 would win if Texas won outright or kept a loss to 1 run.

Marlins Moneylines

Many first time bettors are wary of run line bets, especially when riding with the hometown team. In that case, moneyline wagers are often seen as the safer way to go. A moneyline bet is a bet on who wins the game -- no run line involved.

Let’s use the same example from before to understand the moneyline better:

• Texas Rangers +150
• Miami Marlins -180

Just as with run lines, the minus sign (-) signifies a team is favored, while the plus sign (+) means a team is the underdog. The moneyline odds, written in American odds format here, indicate how big or small a favorite that team is, written in increments of $100. For example, to win $100 on the Marlins, a bettor would need to risk $180. On the flip side, a $100 bet on the Rangers would net $150 if they pulled the upset.

The Marlins went 84-78 in 2023, putting them in third place in the NL East.

Odds can differ from sportsbook to sportsbook, so always make sure you shop for the best line with The Action Network app.

Marlins Over/Unders

Betting on a team to win or cover a run line isn’t the only type of wager allowed on MLB games. Almost all sportsbooks will offer a total on the game, also known as an over/under. This bet is not on the winner of the contest, but on the number of runs the two teams will combine to score; sportsbooks hang a number, and bettors can wager either over or under that total.

If the number for our hypothetical Marlins-Rangers matchup was 8 runs, over bettors would require 9 points or more to cash their tickets, while those who bet the under would need 7 or fewer runs. If the two teams scored exactly 8 runs between them, that bet would push and all wagers would be refunded.

In 2023, the Miami Marlins were 84-78, finishing 3rd in the NL East.

Marlins Props

Some bettors find more entertainment and success betting on more specific outcomes than the result of the game. Prop bets cover a wide market of wagers on player stats, discrete in-game events, and any style of yes/no question. Many props are bets on specific players and their performance, such as betting Jazz Chisholm Jr. over 1.5 hits on a given night, or betting that Sandy Alcantara will strike out over 9.5 batters. Some props can be shorter term, such as betting on the number of runs scored in the first five innings or who will hit a home run. Offerings tend to vary depending on the sportsbook, so use our sportsbook reviews to find the best bet for you.

Marlins Futures

Expectations are low right now in Miami, so bettors will have to shop for the best line to get good odds on Marlins futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long term outcomes, like the Marlins to win the NL East, win the National League Pennant, win the World Series, or even in dividual awards like winning league MVP.

How to Bet on the Miami Marlins

Online sports betting was halted on November 22, 2021 in Florida after a court ruling that stated online sports betting (sports betting not taking place directly on Seminole Tribal land) was a violation of the Indian Gaming Regulation Act. As such, Floridians are not currently able to place online sports bets until this legislative matter is settled.
