Cueto, Jose duel in South Beach on MLB.TV
- Updated: August 8, 2016
The Miami Marlins are above .500 and in contention for the playoffs, a position they haven’t been in this late into August since 2009. Miami is holding on to the National League’s second Wild Card spot by just one game over the Cardinals, and with little room for error the team is about to open a series against a team that has played them extremely close of late.

Here’s what to watch for today in the Majors (all times ET):
Fernandez hoping to avoid a three-peat: SF@MIA, 7:10 p.m. The Giants have a chance to do something no team has done before: hand Fernandez (12-6) his third straight loss. That speaks to Fernandez’s remarkable domnance when healthy, but this San Francisco squad may have some confidence since it beat him on April 23 in San Francisco. Topping Fernandez in Miami, however, where his career mark stands at a robust 26-2 with a 1.62 ERA, is …
