The last time that Jesús Luzardo and Charlie Morton started opposite one another on a Sunday at LoanDepot Park, the Marlins cruised to victory. Tim Anderson is missing his third straight start due to what the Marlins say is a minor illness.

Left oblique discomfort for Jake Burger. Yikes.

An oblique strain would be a multi-week IL stint.

But for Luzardo continuing to pitch like a dud - and Tanner Scott showing why he has no business closing games - the Marlins win this series.

As for Jake Burger, I am sure the news won't be good - no matter what it ultimately ends up being. That being said, the Marlins do have guys that can play multiple positions - they need to put that to use now. And, it would be nice if they got themselves a real, non-lazy CF for once.
