Miami Marlins (Thompson ) vs. Philadelphia Phillies (Velasquez)
The Marlins, dead last in the NL East, have a curious stat. They have unexpectedly out-scored their opponents. This good pitch-no hit style of baseball hasn’t got them very far in the standings. Rookie Zach Thompson is a part of the ‘good pitch’; he is 2-2 with low WHIP and ERA. His innings were limited, but have now stretched out to 5 or 6 per start.
Facing him is Vince Velasquez. Velasquez won against the Marlins on the last time he faced them, but it is his only win in 7 starts. He has an ugly ERA of 6.89 over that period.
Phillies’ offense is middle of the pack. Phillies’ bullpen has been good but Miami’s has been stellar of late.
My wager.
The two teams split a double header yesterday. Can Miami win two in a row? I think so. Velasquez has really struggled. Thompson appears to be a young wonder. Take the Marlins, a slight underdog, to WIN.
