The Chicago Cubs begin a three-game series against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park starting Friday evening. The Cubs enter the series with pitching depth concerns as the team has not officially listed starters for the Saturday or Sunday matchups, though Clay Holmes and Matthew Boyd are expected to take the mound. Miami remains in contention for a National League wild-card spot despite a roster marked by injuries and inconsistencies. The Marlins, who hold a 42-27 home record, rely heavily on their starting rotation's performance while managing a bullpen currently operating by committee due to several key absences. Following this weekend set in Florida, the Cubs travel to Milwaukee for a three-game series against the Brewers beginning Monday. Chicago maintains an all-time record of 56-59 in games played in Miami.
