Cleveland Guardians at Miami Marlins (2026-07-12). Joey Cantillo vs Tyler Phillips at loanDepot park.
Starters — Joey Cantillo enters with a 3.66 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 96 innings, pairing 9.0 K/9 with 4.41 BB/9 and 1.13 HR/9. His last three starts were strong overall: 5.0 IP, 0 ER, 7 K, 3 BB; 5.0 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 5 BB; and 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 9 K, 2 BB. The trend is up, with swing-and-miss stuff playing well lately, though the walk rate still creates some volatility. Tyler Phillips has a 3.28 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 74 innings, with 6.69 K/9, 4.14 BB/9, and 0.97 HR/9. His last three were mixed: 5.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 K, 2 BB; 3.1 IP, 5 ER, 2 K, 2 BB; and 7.1 IP, 2 ER, 1 K, 0 BB. The trend is down despite the solid most recent outing, as his lower strikeout rate leaves less margin if command slips.
Teams — Cleveland carries a .677 OPS and 380 runs, with a team 3.73 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. The Guardians are 6-4 in their last 10, and their profile leans more on pitching stability than lineup impact, with a modest .228 team average. Miami brings a .742 OPS and 437 runs with a .254 team average, giving them the stronger offensive baseline in this matchup. On the pitching side, the Marlins have a 4.02 team ERA and 1.24 WHIP, and they are also 6-4 over their last 10. That creates an interesting split: Miami has the better lineup production, while Cleveland shows the cleaner overall run prevention numbers.
