The Miami Marlins have to hope that their luck turns tonight.

The team's off to their worst start in franchise history, going 0-5 to open the 2024 season, and the way it's happened has been particularly tough: Miami's had the starting pitcher leave with the lead after five innings in three of those five games, only for the opponents to get back into it late and the offense unable to score an insurance run to keep Miami on top.

Opening Day starter Jesús Luzardo is one of those unlucky starters, going five innings last Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and leaving with a 5-2 only for Pittsburgh to tie it up late and win in extra innings, 6-5.

Luzardo's making his second start of the season and he doesn't have much prior experience with Los Angeles. No one on the Angels roster has more than five career at-bats off of the lefty or more than one hit.

3B Anthony Rendon
RF Aaron Hicks
CF Mike Trout
LF Taylor Ward
2B Brandon Drury

Starting for the Angels is lefty Tyler Anderson, making his season debut. He put up a 3.78 ERA and 1-2 record in spring training, striking out 20 in his 16.2 innings but surrendering seven runs on nineteen hits and three walks. No Marlins hitter has either a ton of experience or a great track record against Anderson, with Jazz Chisholm Jr. having the most success at 1-3 with an RBI and Josh Bell having the most experience, going 1-10 with a RBI.
