The Marlins will send Ryan Weathers to the mound, who carries a 4.542 ERA, while the Dodgers counter with Gavin Stone and his 4.065 ERA.\\n\\nIn the battle for standings within the NL East, the Marlins occupy the 15th spot, demonstrating a challenging season with only 6 wins against 24 losses. Their performance in the division hasn\u2019t been any brighter, with a dismal 1-9 record.
