Welcome to Tuesday’s Marlins (23-24, +16 RD) vs. Phillies (23-25, -18 RD) game thread. This rivalry has been lopsided as of late, with the Marlins winning six of the last seven series between them.
During every Marlins game, join in on the Fish Picks prop bets fun. It’s always free to participate and the prizes are real. Please use this link!

Phillies Lineup
- CF Odúbel Herrera
- 2B Jean Segura
- LF Brad Miller
- 1B Rhys Hoskins
- 3B Alec Bohm
- RF Matt Joyce
- C Andrew Knapp
- SS Nick Maton
- RHP Vince Velasquez (2021 season stats: 3.52 ERA, 5.36 FIP, 30.3 K%, 46.6 HardHit% in 30.2 IP)
Notes: J.T. Realmuto (left hand contusion) remains out, leaving the Phillies with the light-hitting catching tandem of Andrew Knapp and Rafael Marchan. After missing Tuesday’s series opener, Bryce Harper (left forearm contusion) has joined Realmuto on the injured list...Herrera is riding a 13-game on-base streak, during which time he’s slashing .356/.455/.533...Velasquez had also been scheduled to start against the Marlins last week in Philadelphia, but was scratched on very short notice (finger numbness).
Marlins Lineup
- 2B Jazz Chisholm Jr.
- SS Miguel Rojas
- 1B Jesús Aguilar
- CF Adam Duvall
- RF Garrett Cooper
- LF Corey Dickerson
- C Jorge Alfaro
- 3B Jon Berti
- RHP Sandy Alcantara (2021 season stats: 3.63 ERA, 3.57 FIP, 25.8 K%, 39.7 HardHit% in 57.0 IP)
Notes: Crap—Brian Anderson’s “shoulder soreness” has proven to be a legitimate injury and he’s been placed on the 10-day IL. No immediate timetable for his return...Jorge Alfaro will be playing his first major league game since April 20...The Marlins continue to win at a shockingly high rate whenever Magneuris Sierra receives starting opportunities...The well-rested pitchers available out of the Marlins bullpen (haven’t pitched in at least two days) are Anthony Bender, Richard Bleier, John Curtiss, Ross Detwiler and Yimi García.
