The Philadelphia Phillies will start a brand new series with the Miami Marlins on Saturday for a scheduled first pitch time of 4:10 PM Eastern. This game will be available on MLB extra innings and locally. Philadelphia comes into this game with a record on the year so far of 46–43 coming up to the All-Star break, and have not played well as of late losing their last four consecutive games against St. Louis twice, and against Toronto twice, all of those games came on the road.

The Miami Marlins come into this game with a surprising record on the year so far a 43–45 headed into the All-Star break. Miami has played well as of late winning three out of their last five games coming out against the Pittsburgh Pirates twice in extra innings, and once against the New York Mets on the road in extra innings at Citi Field.

Philadelphia is undecided on a starter in this game, and are led by Kyle Schwarber who has 28 home runs on the season to go along with a batting average of .214 and 57 RBIs which is good enough for the Philadelphia Phillies team lead.

Trevor Rogers will take the mound for the Miami Marlins in this game with a record on the season of 4–8, to go along with an earned run average of 5.42 and 74 strikeouts on the season. Trevor Rogers has given up 84 hits in 78 innings pitched, has walked 39 hitters, and has given up 10 home runs on the season.

Even with Philadelphia undecided on a starter, Miami's starter has an earned run average over 5.40 which is dismal in major league baseball today. As a team, Jesus Sanchez, Edward Cabrera, Anthony Bender, Jesus Luzardo, and Cole Sulseer are all on the IL for Miami which is why we see the Philadelphia Phillies coming away with an easy victory on the road. Final Score Prediction: the Philadelphia Phillies win by the score of 8–3.
