The Philadelphia Phillies and Miami Marlins meet Sunday in MLB action at LoanDepot Park. The Phillies need a win after losing five of their last six games. The Marlins need a win after losing nine of their last 11 games.
The Philadelphia Phillies have scored nine runs in their last three games and three or less runs in six of their last seven games. The Phillies have lost five straight games when scoring three or less runs. Bryce Harper leads the Phillies with 150 hits and 84 RBI while Jean Segura and J.T. Realmuto have combined for 274 hits and 131 RBI. The Philadelphia Phillies didn’t list a starting pitcher at the time this article was published.
The Miami Marlins have scored six runs in their last three games and three or less runs in nine straight games. The Marlins have lost 11 of their last 13 games when scoring three or less runs. Miguel Rojas leads the Marlins with 131 hits and 48 RBI while Jesus Aguilar and Jazz Chisholm Jr. have combined for 231 hits and 145 RBI. Pablo Lopez gets the ball, and he is 5-5 with a 3.03 ERA and 111 strikeouts this season. Lopez is 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA and 23 strikeouts in his career against the Phillies.
The Phillies are 8-3 in their last 11 during game 3 of a series and 1-4 in their last 5 overall. The Marlins are 5-11 in their last 16 Sunday games and 1-9 in their last 10 overall. The under is 5-1 in Phillies last 6 overall. The over is 5-1 in Marlins last 6 home games. The under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
I’m not running to the window to back either of these losing teams on the last game of the season. With that said, we are getting plus money with the Marlins at home and an ace caliber pitcher on the hill. Lopez hasn’t pitched since July, but he’s been solid all season long and has a 2.26 ERA and .205 allowed batting average at home. Give me the fish and better price.
