The Marlins are halfway through the season and it’s a tale of two halves — Otto Lopez is crushing it as the team’s hottest hitter, earning All-Star honors and on pace for career-best stats, while Liam Hicks continues to surprise with his power and aggression, leading the team in hits and homers. But not all is rosy — Pete Fairbanks is struggling mightily as the closer, posting a career-worst ERA and surrendering more homers than all of last season. Meanwhile, Griffin Conine is heating up, climbing his batting average and adding power, showing promise for a breakout second half. The Marlins’ fate hinges on whether these trends hold — and if they can fix their biggest weakness before the playoffs.
