The Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies are set to do battle in the City of Brotherly Love on Monday, where the Phillies will be looking to rebound from a one-hit performance in their previous outing against the New York Mets.
Jose Fernandez and Aaron Nola are slated to get the start for the Fish and Phils, respectively. Fernandez (11-4, 2.52 ERA) has collected 107 strikeouts in his last 11 starts (73.5 innings).
Nola (5-8, 4.69) limped into the All-Star break in the form of a 0-4 mark and 13.50 ERA in his last five starts. The 23-year-old had his most-recent scheduled start skipped in order to get his mental game back on track.
The Marlins are not exactly a reliable play when tabbed as chalk away from Florida. In their last 11 games as road favorites, Miami is a paltry 1-10.
