Philadelphia is in another hitting slump, but fortunately, it goes to Miami, and the Phillies swept the Marlins in a four-game series in August while outscoring them 23-9. Jose Urena had one good outing following his cowardly beaning of Ronald Acuna, Jr., which resulted in a suspension, but he's back to his old self allowing four runs on six hits in an 8-7 loss at Boston on Tuesday. Urena is 4-12 with a 4.56 ERA overall and 1-9 and 4.45 at home. In three starts against Philly this season, Urena has been pummeled for 12 earned runs on 19 hits in 16 innings. Meanwhile, Vince Velasquez will be pitching on seven days rest, and he has a 3.02 road ERA and he's 2-0 while giving up just one run in 12 1/3 innings versus the Marlins this year. Miami has lost 23 of its last 31 overall and it has lost 21 of Urena's last 28 starts dating to last season. Play the Phillies.
