The Miami Marlins fell just short for their comeback bid in last night's 4-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians, but they still have a chance at the series win against the Indians. It will be Nathan Eovaldi versus Scott Kazmir in the series finale.
Pitching Matchup
| Proj Win% | Proj ERA | FIP | ERA | Marlins | Indians | ERA | FIP | Proj ERA | Proj Win% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| .412 | 4.77 | 4.27 | 3.47 | Eovaldi | Kazmir | 4.11 | 4.06 | 5.21 | .370 |
Nathan Eovaldi has a new, faster fastball. Scott Kazmir has new career after recovering his fastball velocity. Should be an interesting matchup, if anything because of the Kazmir comeback.
Lineup
| Order | Player | Proj wOBA vs. LHP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Christian Yelich | .291 |
| 2 | Ed Lucas | --- |
| 3 | Giancarlo Stanton | .418 |
| 4 | Logan Morrison | .327 |
| 5 | Donovan Solano | .292 |
| 6 | Adeiny Hechavarria | .287 |
| 7 | Jake Marisnick | .309 |
| 8 | Jeff Mathis | .271 |
| 9 | Pitcher | --- |
Updated the projections for the month of July, so brand new numbers show that this lineup is not very well-prepared for this matchup. Of particular issue is Christian Yelich batting leadoff versus a fellow lefty, though it remains to be seen whether he can handle that pitching.
