It was quite the opening night for Miami, scoring an unprecedented 5-2 win in Philadelphia fueled by a 4-run 6th inning. That nice outing came off the Phillies’ supposed ace Aaron Nola.
Oddsmakers aren’t giving much chance at a repeat showing as they’ve made the Phillies -190 favorites in game two. Philadelphia needs to find some offense for that to happen.
Miami Marlins
7 batters collected hits for the Marlins on Friday night and they were fueled by a Jesus Aguilar 2-run homer. Francisco Cervelli is looking forward to Saturday’s matchup as he is 5-6 lifetime vs. Wheeler.
Caleb Smith is back healthy looking to continue the success he had vs. the Phillies last season. In three starts vs. Philadelphia, Smith allowed just 6 total ER in 15 IP (3.80 ERA).
Overall Smith was 10-11 with a 4.52 ERA in 2019. He battled injuries in the 2nd half though and will try to rediscover the 4-4, 3.52 ERA from his first 13 starts a season ago.
Philadelphia Phillies
Bryce Harper started the season 0-3 with 2 K’s. Overall the Phillies collected just 5 total hits although Didi Gregorious did have a solid team debut going 2-3 with a HR.
The Phillies hit just .171 as a team vs. Smith and have only 2 HR in 41 total ABs. Harper and Rhys Hoskins are a combined 0-13.
Zack Wheeler takes the hill for the 1st time as a member of the Phillies on Saturday afternoon. Wheeler is definitely familiar with NL East – opponent Miami however after spending 5 seasons with the Mets.
The 30-year-old Wheeler was 11-8 with a 3.98 ERA last year for New York. The right-hander had great success vs. Miami (as most teams did) posting a 2-1 record with just a 1.96 ERA in three starts.

The oddsmakers don’t necessarily agree but the Marlins look like a solid play here at +160. Philadelphia’s bats didn’t show up on Friday and may struggle again vs. an underrated Miami pitcher.
