The Miami Marlins are trying to finish off this horrific month in a strong fashion following a come-from-behind victory against the St. Louis Cardinals. Standing in their way are their division rival Philadelphia Phillies, who are struggling as badly as they are. The Marlins will ask Josh Johnson to put on another strong performance, while the Phillies will turn to Cliff Lee.
Tale of the Tape
| Marlins | Stat (Rank) | Phillies |
|---|---|---|
| .303 (25) | wOBA | .321 (10) |
| 86 (27) | wRC+ | 99 (T-9) |
| 4.24 (T-23) | ERA | 4.12 (T-20) |
| 3.85 (13) | FIP | 3.80 (10) |
As you can see, the Marlins and Phillies are in very similar boats, except that somehow the Phillies offense that has been without Ryan Howard or Chase Utley for almost all of the season is somehow carrying their squad. The Marlins haven't been carried by an offensive performance since May, and even in that month, the team did not hit as well as the Phillies have all season.
