MIAMI GARDENS - It's Year 2 for Sun Sentinel Dolphins columnist Chris Perkins and Dolphins writer David Furones picking prop bets, which they'll do for all 17 regular-season games. Prior to each game, Furones and Perkins will select a "Best Bet" and a "Longshot." The "Best Bet" selection is a near 50-50 proposition while the "Longshot" is at least +300 or a 3-to-1 probability.

However...there is the small matter of Coors Field to deal with. Playing in Colorado is baseball's great equalizer, with the only predictable thing about pitching there being how completely unpredictable the effects of altitude will be on a particular pitcher's stuff. Seeing as how the strength of the Miami Marlins is their starting pitching, the playing field could be leveled considerably this week.

Which means it's time to start paying somewhat closer attention to the actual playoff contenders, and figuring out which parts of those winning formulas might become available once the offseason gets underway. As you might have noticed during the Marlins recent offensive slide, and really at any point during the 2025 season, there are plenty of holes in this roster. Fortunately, there has also been plenty to like, which means it's reasonable to expect Miami's front office to have made more additions than subtractions when the dust settles this winter.

From July 19th through August 17th, Hiyakawa will transform into an Izakaya, serving a new menu of high-quality small plates by renowned chefs.

When he moved to Miami in June 2020, former New York investment manager Brett Thomas Graham rented an apartment in the city's signature building, One Thousand Museum, the "exoskeleton" skyscraper overlooking Biscayne Bay. On Tuesday, a Miami federal judge ordered Graham's immediate surrender to the Bureau of Prisons after sentencing him to seven years for ripping off millions from his mother.

"When I was just getting off the ball, I wasn't expecting for him to cut-block me like that," said Robinson, who spent a few minutes down on the ground as he held his left knee. "Once I felt his helmet hit my knee, I kind of thought another thing, but once the trainers came out on the field and I realized I was good, it took everything off my back. I was just honestly ready to get back in the game."

For all of those calling to replace him, it basically boils down to Lopez being guilty of the same sin every Marlins shortstop has been guilty of since 2011: not being peak Hanley Ramirez. And to be fair, Ramirez wasn't even that in 2011, leading in part to his being replaced at short by Jose Reyes for the 2012 campaign.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright was back at the team's Thursday practice, going through drills for the first time in the three weeks since his knee injury. The development possibly puts Wright in play ahead of their home opener against the New England Patriots on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. Wright was seen, during a brief media viewing portion of practice, participating in team stretch and then going through cutting drills with a football in his arm.
