Marlins-Brewers Series: Preview, Starting Pitchers, Injuries

Baseball that counts is finally back. Sure, the All-Star Game is a grand old time, but nothing beats watching a contest with meaningful stakes.

There's arguably no series on the schedule this weekend that's as enticing or impactful as the one between the Miami Marlins and the Milwaukee Brewers. These two teams are right in the thick of the playoff picture, with the Brewers leading the National League Central and the Marlins occupying the final Wild Card spot.

It won't be simple for Miami to take down the mighty Brewers. For one, Milwaukee is equipped with fantastic pitching that seems never-ending. While Jacob Misiorowski, perhaps the best pitcher in the sport at the moment, won't be toeing the rubber this weekend, there are still some formidable arms the Marlins will have to beat if they want to triumph over the folks from Wisconsin.

Luckily, three of Miami's most impactful starters will take the mound over the course of this three-game road set. Sandy Alcantara, Max Meyer and Eury Pérez are the perfect trio to attack the Brewers' lineup. It still won't be easy, but Marlins fans can rest a little easier knowing those three will be tasked with getting the job done.

It's going to be fun watching these two teams go at it over the next several days. Here's a breakdown of the series, including how to watch, the probable starting pitchers and an updated Marlins injury report.
