Philadelphia Phillies vs. Florida Marlins
Florida is 5-1 at Dolphin Stadium, averaging 6.1 runs. The Marlins, though, have seen several of their top hitters cool off. Dan Uggla is hitless in his last 21 at-bats and is batting .196 on the season. However, The second baseman has hit .344 (11-for-32) with three home runs against Brett Myers (1-1, 5.03), who gets the start for the Phillies on Friday. Myers is 1-4 with a 6.59 ERA in 11 starts and one relief appearance at Florida, and 6-10 with a 5.58 ERA in 22 starts and six relief appearances in his career versus the Marlins. The Phillies posted a 5.14 ERA last year against the Marlins, who won the season series 10-8. Even though Josh Johnson is 2-0 this season he got roughed up his last start giving up 6 ER in 6 innings.
