"Yet there's no denying that Miami has stubbornly remained a Miami Dolphins first community, just as there's no denying that the Dolphins have been driving local fans crazy since the end of last season. Those frustrations are nearing fever pitch after the Dolphins latest loss to Buffalo on Thursday Night Football, dropping them to an 0-3 record."
"Baseball Reference still gives the Marlins less than a 1% chance entering the weekend. Yet that feels a touch soft after two straight series wins and the return of multiple injured players. It shouldn't take much more this weekend beyond a series win over the Rangers to tack on a percentage point or two to those chances. Which would essentially pull them even or ahead of the owner of America's longest drought without winning a playoff game."
The Miami Marlins have gained momentum with two straight series wins and returning injured players, improving their postseason probability from under 1 percent. The Miami Dolphins' 0-3 start and recent loss to Buffalo have frustrated fans and worsened playoff odds, potentially leaving Dolphins behind Marlins in perceived chances. Baseball Reference still lists Marlins' odds under 1 percent, but a series win over the Rangers could raise those odds by a percentage point or two. The Marlins can gain local goodwill by comparison, while the Dolphins and Heat face heightened expectations and setbacks entering their seasons.
