Get out the broom breakers, Miami Marlins fans, because the Marlins are looking to bust up a sweep.

The Fish will be attempting to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies, who have shut out the Marlins in two consecutive games. Overall, the Marlins have been shut out in three consecutive games and 27 consecutive innings, team records in both departments. So if the Fish want to break up that sweep, they might have to score some more runs than they have lately.

Unfortunately, facing them is going to be Roy Halladay.

The Marlins' Mark Buehrle will face off against Halladay in today's rubber matchup. Buehrle had a better start his last time out, allowing four runs in six innings but striking out five and walking just one. That is an encouraging sign for Buehrle, as he had been struggling with walks in the four starts prior to that one. He looks to continue pitching a good game for the Fish today against the Phillies.

Halladay has not had a typical year, and that includes him being injured for a month. Of course, the whole season has not been typical for the Philadelphia Phillies, so that is not surprising. Halladay's ERA right now is the highest it has been since 2007, and his FIP is a little higher than usual, though it also matches his career mark. The Marlins are hoping to take advantage of his general down season today, but their offense has struggled to do anything to the worst of starting pitchers.

Lineup

This is the same lineup the Fish ran out yesterday, with exception of Buck behind the plate versus Rob Brantly, who got his first start of his major league career last night. Hopefully Buck can do something more than Brantly did yesterday, as Brantly went 0-for-3 last night.

Bold Prediction: Phillies def. Marlins 2-0
