MARLINS VS PHILLIES PREDICTION
Velasquez has struggled in his last two starts and in his last one had his worst outing of the season. After yesterday’s double-header, you can expect both bullpens to be down a few guys. The Marlins bullpen has a 3.29 ERA and the Phillies have a 4.66 ERA. The Marlins’ Thompson is well rested with not pitching in the last 2 weeks and he’s been pretty solid in his first 5 starts at the major league level. Velasquez has been trending downward with July being his worst month yet going 0-2 with a 14.04 ERA, 7 walks, 6 strikeouts, and 5 home runs in just 8.1 innings. The Marlins have a team career batting average of .330 with 7 players hitting over .300 against Velasquez. We should see plenty of runs in this game and take the Marlins to come out on top.
