The Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies face off on Tuesday in an MLB showdown at Citizens Bank Park.
The Marlins sit with a 49-59 record overall but they are coming off a win in their last game. The pitching locked down giving up zero runs to the Chicago Cubs and that led to the victory. The Marlins offense in that game though still wasn’t great scoring only three runs. The Marlins offense is averaging 3.84 runs which is 26th in the league. Jazz Chisholm Jr is still dealing with a back injury and is out.
The Phillies sit with a 60-48 record overall and they have won five games in a row. Over the last three games, the Phillies offense has scored 31 runs total. The Phillies offense has been the strength all season and they are averaging 4.78 runs per game which is 5th best in the league. Kyle Schwarber is having a big season for the Phillies hitting 34 home runs and driving in 67 RBIs.
On the mound for the Marlins is Braxton Garrett who sits with a 2-5 record and an ERA of 1.88. In his last start against the Cincinnati Reds, he went 5.2 innings giving up three hits and two runs.
On the mound for the Phillies will be Zack Wheeler who sits with a 10-5 record and an ERA of 2.89. In his last start against the Braves, he went seven innings giving up five hits and one run.
The Phillies are 5-0 in their last five home games. The Marlins are 0-6 in their last six games following a loss. The under is 6-0 in the Marlins last six games on grass. The under is 5-0 in Garrett's last 5 starts when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game.
Both teams are going to really struggle to score in this game. Garrett sits with an ERA of 1.88 while Wheeler sits with an ERA of 2.89. Look for both bats to be ice cold here, and that is going to be the difference as this game stays under the total. Back the under to cash.
