Looking at 2020 MLB futures odds for how many games the Miami Marlins will win in the 60-game MLB season.

How many games will the Miami Marlins win in the 60-game 2020 MLB season? We look at the Marlins‘ MLB futures odds, including their projected 2020 win total and Over/Under odds at BetMGM, and make our best bet.

Miami Marlins’ 2019 recap

The Marlins finished 2019 as the worst team in the National League, going 57-105 and 40 games out of first place in the NL East. They were, however, a surprisingly above-.500 bet against the run line, going 84-78 with a 79-73-10 Over/Under record.

Miami Marlins’ offseason

In free agency, they added OF Corey Dickerson, C Francisco Cervelli and P Brandon Kintzler. They added INF Jonathan Villar via trade and lost INF Starlin Castro and P Wei-Yin Chen.

How many games will the Marlins win in 2020?

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday, July 7 at 7 a.m. ET.

The Marlins’ projected win total is 23.5. with the Over +100 and the Under -120. They aren’t really any better than last year and 24 wins would be a winning percentage of .400, better than last season (.352). In a short season, unless they get hot early, they are likely to find themselves plummeting to the bottom of the league. I’m taking the UNDER 23.5 WINS (-120).

Miami Marlins’ World Series odds

Only one team in the majors has longer odds than the Marlins’ +50000. The Orioles are +100000 – the Seattle Mariners are also +50000. DO NOT BET the Marlins to win it all.

Miami Marlins’ playoff odds

The Marlins are NOT A GOOD BET IN ANY WAY, not for the World Series, not to win the NL pennant (+25000) and not to win the NL East (+15000), a division where the four other teams are +325 or less.

How many games will the Miami Marlins win in 2020?

Previewing the Miami Marlins’ MLB win total and World Series odds, with MLB betting odds, picks and best bets

The Miami Marlins languished not only at the bottom of the National League East standings in 2019, but they were one of the worst teams in all of baseball. They turned the keys to the car over to younger players, and it was sink or swim – apropos for a team nicknamed the Marlins.

Today, we focus on the Marlins’ 2020 projected regular-season win totals and World Series odds. Do the Marlins have what it takes? Let’s analyze:

Miami Marlins 2019 wins

The Marlins managed just 57 victories against 105 losses in 2019, worst in the National League and third-worst in the majors. It marked their 10th straight losing season and saw them lose the second-most games in franchise history (only the 54-108 campaign in 1998 was worse).

Miami Marlins offseason

The Marlins looked like a disaster on paper last season. They parted with All-Star backstop J.T. Realmuto last offseason, and the roster was full of misfits and no-names. This offseason, the powers that be constructed a roster which looks to be a little more competitive. The addition of 2B/3B Jonathan Villar solidifies the top of the batting order, 1B Jesus Aguilar, an All-Star in Milwaukee in 2018, gives the Marlins some power in the middle of the order, and INF Sean Rodriguez gives the team depth all over the infield. RP Brandon Kintzler was also added, and he figures to close out the rare wins. C Francisco Cervelli is a nice depth-piece addition, and OF Corey Dickerson gives Miami a nice, cheap bat for two years. Hey, even OF Matt Kemp could be a steal if he still has anything left in the tank.

Miami Marlins World Series odds

The Marlins (+100000) share the longest odds with the Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals, so don’t expect any parades down Calle Ocho anytime soon. Still, this team should make some improvement in the standings.

How many games will the Marlins win in 2020?

I like the Marlins to go OVER 64.5 (-110) wins and avoid back-to-back triple-digit loss seasons. They have smartly added some offense and veteran leadership, and they have a slew of talented prospects ready to make their make in South Florida, too. This team won’t jump up and be remotely close to challenging the Atlanta Braves or Washington Nationals, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Marlins flirting with 70 wins in September, either. They’ll be a tough out down the stretch when other NL teams are trying to position themselves for postseason seeding, and the Marlins might actually have their fans looking forward to 2021.
