Prediction for Major League Baseball for the 5th of May 2025. In this encounter, the Miami Marlins will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers at LoanDepot Park. This will be the opener of a three game series. The two teams suffered a defeat in their last game and will hope to rebounce. How will this game unfold? Below, I will preview this game and offer best betting opportunities. 

Miami Marlins: Form and Statistics

The Miami Marlins will be hoping to change the narrative against them in this home game after enduring a run of poor streak. Heading into this game, this team is having a tough run, and have now lost the third most matches by any side in the National League, playing 33 and losing 20. However, the good news is that they will be at LoanDepot Park this time which could be a fortress for them. 

In their last series, the Miami Marlins took on the Oakland Athletics and they were thrashed. In what was a three game series, this team opened it with a 1-6 defeat and then pulled off a surprising 9-6 victory in game two, coming as the favourites. Yet, they struggled in the finale, as they failed to take advantage after leveling the score with two runs in the fourth innings. Ahead of this game, this team has lost their last three series, suffering a sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers in that run.

Los Angeles Dodgers: Form and Statistics

The Los Angeles Dodgers are flying high at the moment and will look to continue on this path. This season, this team has shown domination, winning the most matches in the league with 23 from 34 encounters. However, they will have to step up again in this contest, as the visiting team look to extend their record in the National League. 

In their last series, the Los Angeles Dodgers played the Atlanta Braves and they won. In that series, this team opened it with consecutive victories. The opener ended in a 1-2 tight contest, needing a run in the fourth and sixth innings to get the job done. However, they thrashed the Braves 3-10 in game two before ending the series with a 4-3 defeat. However, prior to that defeat saw the Los Angeles Dodgers pull off a seven game winning run. This team completed a sweep over the Miami Marlins in that stretch, while also defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ahead of this contest, the Los Angeles Dodgers have lost only two of their last six series, coming against the Chicago Cubs on separate occasions.

Miami Marlins vs Los Angeles Dodgers Match Prediction 05 May 2025

The Miami Marlins are just nothing to write home about and this is not surprising looking at recent years performances. While they are struggling to get things right, it is clear they will need to do more than enough to win this game even though they are at home. On the other hand, the Los Angeles Dodgers have shown quality, and their position in the league is a clear indication of how brilliant they are as a team. 

This should be an easy one for the Los Angeles Dodgers as I trust them to dominate from the first inning. While the Miami Marlins have also struggled to score runs, a bet on few runs is another option to consider.
