The Miami Marlins sweep the New York Yankees and surge into playoff contention. Analyzing the latest Miami Marlins odds and playoff chances.
The Miami Marlins have quietly emerged as contenders for the 2025 MLB Playoffs. Their recent performances have energized fans and caught the league’s attention. A historic sweep of the New York Yankees marked the first such achievement in franchise history. This impressive surge places Miami squarely in playoff discussions.
Marlins Make Franchise History with Yankees Sweep
In a significant boost to their postseason aspirations, the Marlins completed their first-ever sweep of the Yankees. The team was once 16 games below .500. With the sweep they have returned to the .500 mark. Only one team in MLB history has made the postseason after being 16-plus games under .500 at any point of a season. The Marlins are looking to become the 2nd! The 1914 Boston Braves began their season 12-28 but finished with a 94-59 record. They would sweep the Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series. Entering the season, the Miami Marlins odds to make the playoffs stood at +2000, but those odds are improving slightly.
Analyzing Updated Miami Marlins Odds for 2025 MLB Playoffs
The Miami Marlins entered the 2025 season as long shots, priced at roughly +2000 to make the playoffs, implying just a 5% chance at the outset. However, as of August 3, 2025, the latest Baseball Reference data pegs the Marlins’ postseason probability now at 8%. Despite having the best record in Major League Baseball over their last 44 games, the betting public is not on the Marlins bandwagon. There’s still lots of season to be played and let’s just see when this roller coster comes to a full stop.
What’s Next for the Playoff-Hungry Marlins?
The Marlins’ postseason push is far from over. Maintaining recent form and consistency will be critical down the stretch. Look for the young team to continue playing with no fear while staying aggressive. If the 1914 Boston Braves can mount a comeback, so can the 2025 Miami Marlins.
