The Miami Marlins are staying at home for a three-game set against their familiar rivals, the Philadelphia Phillies. Tonight is the first of a three-game set, with Alex Sanabia taking the bump again, this time against Cole Hamels. The Fish are looking to carry some strong pitching momentum after yesterday's 2-1 win.
Pitching Matchup
| Proj Win% | Proj ERA | FIP | ERA | Marlins | Phillies | ERA | FIP | Proj ERA | Proj Win% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| .321 | 5.80 | 5.96 | 5.00 | Sanabia | Hamels | 4.61 | 4.81 | 3.59 | .544 |
Seriously, Alex Sanabia is doing nothing that says he is a major league pitcher. Well, nothing except that ridiculous 10.3 percent swinging strike rate.
Lineup
| Order | Player | Proj wOBA vs. LHP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Adeiny Hechavarria | .291 |
| 2 | Placido Polanco | .296 |
| 3 | Derek Dietrich | --- |

| 5 | Justin Ruggiano | .333 |
| 6 | Chris Coghlan | .276 |
| 7 | Nick Green | --- |
| 8 | Jeff Mathis | .272 |
As I feared, the Marlins may indeed be platooning Rob Brantly and Jeff Mathis. Let the Jeff Mathis experience begin!
Bold Prediction: Phillies def. Marlins 3-1
