Miami Marlins midseason betting report

Jose Fernandez has already made 16 starts and thrown 100 innings in the first half of the season, putting up All-Star caliber numbers in the process. Steve Mitchell/USA TODAY Sports

Editor's note: After a busy first half of the 2016 MLB season, Joe Peta takes a look at both the good and bad for all 30 teams to find overvalued and undervalued clubs from a betting perspective. He also projects each team's second half. This is the entry for the Miami Marlins.

Records reflect all games played through Sunday. All statistics are through each team's 81st game. Season-to-date pricing adds the implied win probability from the money line of each team's first 81 games and converts it to 162 games.

Season-to-date pricing: 82.5 Wins

What's gone right: Threatening to become the Jon Snow and Arya Stark of the House of Marlins, Giancarlo Stanton and Jose Fernandez finally had some scenes together for the first time in years. Fernandez has already made 16 starts and thrown 100 innings, and Stanton was on the field for each and every one of them. Even though Stanton hasn't been very good for much of the season, it hasn't mattered, because the rest of the offense has been very, very good.
