The Marlins head into game two of the series with 77 victories, just three games under .500, thanks to their most recent hot streak. They’ll turn to right-hander Janson Junk in the series finale on Thursday. Junk is 6-3 on the season in 20 appearances, including six quality starts. He has allowed 107 hits in 105.1 innings of work. Junk has an ERA of 4.27 and a WHIP of 1.14. He’s walked 13 batters and struck out 73. The Marlins have won three of Junk’s last five starts. He is 4-0 with an ERA of 3.42 in 10 road appearances.
Key Injuries: CF Andrew Pintar, CF Dane Myers, LF Kyle Stowers, RP Tyler Zuber, and RP Anthony Bender are out.
Phillies are ready for playoffs
The Phillies are down to their final four games of the regular season, readying for another run at their first World Series title since 2008. The Phillies are all but locked into the second seed in the National League playoffs, just behind the Brewers for the best record. That means a first-round bye, allowing the Phillies to get their rotation in order. The Phillies have lost four of five games heading into Wednesday night’s contest. That includes a 6-5 loss on Tuesday night to the Marlins. The Phillies jumped out to a 3-0 lead, in part due to Kyle Schwarber’s 54th home run of the season. The bullpen couldn’t hold up, however, allowing single runs from the 7th inning on.

Money line Pick for Marlins at PhilliesÂ
Marlins ML (4 units)
The Phillies seem content to take the second seed in the National League Playoffs, losing four out of five games and favoring the team’s health over success at this point. Starter Buehler has not been the same pitcher that was a perennial Cy Young candidate several years ago with the Dodgers. He’s lost velocity and his command. Buehler has just 90 strikeouts this season while walking 58 batters. The Marlins will have a field day against Buehler, hitting .273 as a team over the past ten games. Junk has earned serious consideration to be one of the team’s top four starters last year, after coming out of the bullpen this season and giving the team steady production. The Marlins will pick up another win on Thursday night.Â
