KEY GAME INFORMATION
MIAMI: 2016: 79-82, third place
Manager: Don Mattingly (second season)
Who's new? C A.J. Ellis, RHP Edinson Volquez, RHP Dan Straily, RHP Brad Ziegler, RHP Junichi Tazawa, LHP Jeff Locke
Who's gone? C Jeff Mathis, INF Chris Johnson, RHP Andrew Cashner, LHP Mike Dunn, RHP Fernando Rodney
Projected lineup: SS Dee Gordon (.268, 1 HR, 14 RBI, 30 SB in 79 games), 3B Martin Prado (.305, 8, 75), CF Christian Yelich (.298, 21, 98), RF Giancarlo Stanton (.240, 27, 74 in 119 games), LF Marcell Ozuna (.266, 23, 76), 1B Justin Bour (.264, 15, 51), C J.T. Realmuto (.303, 11, 48, 12 SB), SS Adeiny Hechavarria (.236, 3, 38)
Rotation: LH Wei-Yin Chen (5-5, 4.96), RH Edinson Volquez (10-11, 5.37 with Royals), LH Adam Conley (8-6, 3.85), RH Dan Straily (14-8, 3.76 with Reds), RH Tom Koehler (9-13, 4.33)
Key relievers: RH A.J. Ramos (1-4, 2.81 40/43 SV), RH Brad Ziegler (2-3, 2.28, 18/20 SV with Diamondbacks), RH Junichi Tazawa (3-2, 4.17 with Red Sox), RH Kyle Barraclough (6-3, 2.85), RH David Phelps (7-6, 2.28), RH Dustin McGowan (1-3, 2.82)
Hot spots: Middle infield. Gordon and Hechavarria were a throwback double-play combo in 2016: strong defense up the middle, light with the bats. That would be OK in some lineups, but only three MLB teams scored fewer runs per game last season than Miami. Derek Dietrich was a more than capable fill-in during Gordon's PED suspension, posting a .374 on-base percentage. How long can Mattingly keep Dietrich on the bench if Gordon and Hechavarria struggle to hit?
Outlook: There are many recent examples of teams taking the 'stars and scrubs' approach to roster construction. It never ends well. The Marlins lost their brightest star when ace right-hander Jose Fernandez died far too young; replacing his production and presence was impossible. The remaining stars come with major question marks. Can Stanton stay healthy? If not, can Yelich and Bour be the pillars of the lineup? Who's the star of this pitching staff? No team managed by Mattingly has lost more than 82 games in a season. That will change in 2017.
PHILADELPHIA: 2016: 71-91, fourth place
Manager: Pete Mackanin (third season)
Who's new? LF Howie Kendrick, RF Michael Saunders, C Ryan Hanigan, OF Chris Coghlan, RHP Clay Buchholz, RHP Joaquin Benoit
Who's gone? C A.J. Ellis, 1B Ryan Howard, INF Andres Blanco, OF Peter Bourjos, RHP Charlie Morton, RHP David Hernandez
Projected lineup: 2B Cesar Hernandez (.294, 6 HR, 39 RBI, 17 SB), LF Howie Kendrick (.255, 8, 40, 10 with Dodgers), CF Odubel Herrera (.286, 15, 49, 25), 3B Maikel Franco (.255, 25, 88), RF Michael Saunders (.253, 24, 57 with Blue Jays), 1B Tommy Joseph (.257, 21, 47), C Cameron Rupp (.252, 16, 54), SS Freddy Galvis (.241, 3, 20, 17 SB)
Rotation: RH Jeremy Hellickson (11-14, 3.65 ERA), RH Aaron Nola (6-9, 4.78), RH Clay Buchholz (8-10, 4.78 with Red Sox), RH Vince Velasquez (8-6, 4.12), Jerad Eickhoff (11-14, 3.65)
Key relievers: Jeanmar Gomez (3-5, 4.85, 37/43 SV), Joaquin Benoit (2-0, 0.38 with Blue Jays), Hector Neris (4-4, 2.58), Pat Neshek (2-2, 3.06 with Astros), Edubray Ramos (1-3, 3.83)
Hot spots: Shortstop and closer. Philadelphia is waiting for the arrival of J.P. Crawford, the marquee name in the farm system. Crawford struggled in his first exposure to Triple-A last year, batting .250 with seven home runs in 123 games. In the meantime shortstop belongs to Galvis, who had an MLB-worst .274 on-base percentage last season. Crawford will get a chance once he's deemed ready. Gomez had a 19.13 ERA last September, possibly opening the door for Ramos, Neris or newcomer Benoit to seize the closer's job in spring training.
Outlook: On the long road back to respectability, the Phillies appear closer to the end than the beginning. Young starters Nola, Velasquez and Eickhoff showed flashes of brilliance last year. So did center fielder Herrera, who was rewarded with a five-year contract extension. He's the only player on the roster with a guaranteed contract beyond this year. That points to 2017 as a major transition year with prospects and veterans auditioning for jobs in 2018 and beyond, when the Phillies can be active in free agency.
PREVIEW
Phillies put streak on line against Marlins
 

Riding a four-game winning streak, the Philadelphia Phillies will hand the ball to a starter who still is looking for his first victory of the season to begin an inter-division series.

The Miami Marlins (10-8) come to town on Tuesday, fresh off a six-game West Coast swing that saw them go 3-3, including wins over the San Diego Padres and Saturday and Sunday to give them some positive vibes on a Monday off that both teams enjoyed.

"Any time you lose the first game and come back to win the series, it feels good," Sunday's starting pitcher Tom Koehler said to the Sun-Sentinel after a 7-3 victory.

"I love this team and it's going to take wins like this and someone stepping up every night to get to where we want to get to."

Manager Don Mattingly will turn to Wei-Yin Chen (2-0, 3.94 ERA) to open the series, as the lefty takes the mound for the fourth time this season in hopes of keeping his slate clean for April.

Chen had his best start of the young season in his last trip to the mound, throwing seven innings of no-hit ball against Seattle, as 64 of his 100 pitches went for strikes. He's doing all of this with a partial tear to his UCL, which he sustained last summer.

"With the tear in the ligament, it doesn't really heal," Chen told the Sun-Sentinel through translator Louis Chao after his last start. "It's still there. It won't heal. So I don't really think about if it'll get worse or not. I just think about with this, what treatment I should be getting."

To counter, the Phillies (9-9) will send Vince Velasquez (0-2, 7.20), a flame-throwing right-hander who has given up at least three earned runs in each of his three starts.

His last time out was his most successful, going six innings against the Mets while giving up three runs and five hits, and he didn't receive a decision the Phillies lost, 5-4.

But it was that sixth inning that cost Velasquez, giving up a three-run home run, spoiling what had otherwise been a solid outing.

"There's a lot of positives out of this," Velasquez said to the Philadelphia Inquirer. "Big adjustment. Big adjustment. I'm happy with my performance, but that should have been eliminated. That shouldn't have happened."

Since that loss, the Phillies ripped off a four wins, including a sweep of the Braves over the weekend. So far this season, they have played all but their opening three games against NL East opponents, going 8-7 in division play.

After this three-game series against Miami, they hit the road for three at Los Angeles and four at Chicago.

Velasquez is only one of several problems the Phillies are having with the starting rotation.

Clay Buchholz, on the 60-day disabled list thanks to flexor tendon surgery on his right forearm, probably is out for the season.

Aaron Nola, Wednesday's previously projected starter, just landed on the disabled list because of a lower-back strain, although according to the Inquirer he is expected to miss only "one or two starts."

The Phillies will have to make a roster move Tuesday or Wednesday to replace him in the rotation.
