Marlins vs. Phillies August 2-5 series preview

All individual player stats updated entering Thursday.

The fourth place Fish (46-63) will be finishing up a road trip with four games against the first place Phillies (59-48).

The Fish had an unexpected off day yesterday because their game with the Atlanta Braves was rained out. The Marlins are 2-3 in their last five games, and have played just under .500 baseball since the second half of the season started.

The Phils are doing just a bit better than the Fish. They have a 6-6 record since the All-Star break and enter this series clinging to a half-game lead over Atlanta in the NL East.
