Kyle Gibson will start Thursday for the Phillies. He is 7-4 with a 4.36 ERA in 21 starts. This Marlins offense is averaging just 1.4 runs per game in their last seven, which is awful.
Recently, Gibson has been excellent, giving up just three earned runs in his previous 14 frames. Also, in Gibson's last 14 innings facing Miami, he's allowed only two earned runs. The Phillies came away with the win in both of Gibson's previous two starts versus Miami, and they'll look to make it three straight.
Miami sends out righty Edward Cabrera, who has a 2-1 record and 2.61 ERA. The Phillies offense he'll be up against ranks sixth in runs per game, and in their previous seven, they're up to 6.3 runs per contest. Even without Bryce Harper, there are enough good hitters in Philly's lineup.
Last outing, Cabrera threw five no-hit innings while striking out eight in a loss to the Chicago Cubs. He was dominant in this start and would've been able to go deeper if he hadn't just returned from injury.

Cabrera has electric stuff, but the Phillies should be a much tougher challenge for the young righty.
