Miami Marlins vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction: An even contest ahead

Monday's Major League Baseball action from LoanDepot Park features a matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Miami Marlins. The Philadelphia Phillies recently completed a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend. After splitting the first two games of the series, the Phillies were defeated by a score of two to one in the decisive game of the series. As for the Miami Marlins, their game against the Detroit Tigers has now come to a close. The first two games for Miami were also split, but the Marlins were able to take the set with a victory by two runs on the last day of the series.

On Friday, the Miami Marlins prevailed against the Detroit Tigers by a score of 6-5 in a nail-biting game. However, on Saturday, we were defeated by a score of 5-0, and Luis Arraez was the only player to record multiple hits (two). The decisive game was won by the Miami Marlins, 8-6, thanks to the team's 13 hits. Both Garrett Cooper and Jean Segura hit home runs, with Garrett contributing two runs and Jean contributing two runs on his solo drive. Garrett Hampson had a perfect game, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI. Edward Cabrera will take the mound for the Miami Marlins on Monday as the team's starting pitcher. Cabrera is currently 5-6 on the season with a 4.74 ERA and 90 strikeouts in 74.0 innings pitched over his 16 starts. In his last seven games, Cabrera has a record of 2-3 with a 4.28 earned run average and 35 strikeouts in 33.2 innings pitched.

The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 2-1 on Friday, but they lost by a score of 7-6 in game two despite Brandon Marsh driving in three runs and scoring one himself. During their game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday, the Phillies ended up losing 6-4 when Josh Palacios hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning. Bryce Harper had a productive day with one run, three walks, and an RBI, while Alec Bohm had a fantastic day with one home run, three RBI, and three hits. Taijuan Walker will take the field for the Philadelphia Phillies in the season opener on Monday as the team's starting pitcher. Walker has started 21 games this year and has a record of 11-4 with a 4.06 ERA. During his previous seven appearances, he has a record of 5-1 with a 3.09 earned run average and has struck out 40 batters in 43.2 innings pitched.

It's likely that I'll stick with the Philadelphia Phillies in the first game of this series. Cabrera has not been doing well as of late, with the exception of his 5.0 innings pitched and one earned run scored against the St. Louis Cardinals on July 18. In his most recent start, which took place on July 25, Cabrera allowed three earned runs on three hits, four walks, and two hit batters to score against him in a defeat to the Tampa Bay Rays. In the first game of the series, the Philadelphia Phillies should have some early opportunities to put runners on base. On Sunday, the Philadelphia Phillies had a somewhat productive offensive evening, but after the seventh inning, they were unable to score any runs. In a total of four and a half innings, the bullpen was responsible for four earned runs. In order to win this game, the Philadelphia Phillies' starting rotation is going to have to get back on track, but I believe they still have a fighting chance.
