Pitching Matchup
| PROJ ERA | FIP | ERA | Marlins | Phillies | ERA | FIP | PROJ ERA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.43 | 6.00 | 3.38 | Haren | Hamels | 3.19 | 5.59 | 3.66 |
Haren is coming off of a five inning outing against the Nationals, during which he allowed two runs while walking and striking out three. In his last start against the Phillies, he allowed four runs and struck out seven over six innings.
Hamels allowed one run in his last start against the Cardinals, and did not allow an earned run in six innings in his last outing against Miami.
Jeff Baker gets the start at first base against the lefty Hamels, with Martin Prado in the two spot. Miami's offense came through on Friday, however Hamels has had success against the Marlins in his career.
Notes
-Can Haren turn in a quality start? Miami's starters have had success of late.
-How will the offense fare against Hamels? The Marlins have not seen many lefties early in 2015.
Bold Prediction: Marlins top Phillies 8-1
