Whether or not the Marlins reach the playoffs in a full season for the first time in 20 years will be determined over 37 games played out over the next 42 days.
13 of the remaining 37 are against current division leaders. The Marlins are 4-18 against current first-place teams.
19 of the final 37 are against teams that are currently 4th or 5th in their divisions. The Marlins are 33-19 against 4th- and 5th-place clubs.
