Los Angeles Angels at Miami Marlins (2026-08-07). George Klassen vs Tyler Phillips at loanDepot park.
Starters — George Klassen has an 11.57 ERA and 3.64 WHIP across 4.2 innings, with an 11.57 K/9, 19.29 BB/9, and 1.93 HR/9. His last two starts were rough: 2.0 innings, 4 earned runs, 2 strikeouts, and 5 walks on April 11, then 2.2 innings, 2 earned runs, 4 strikeouts, and 5 walks on April 5. The strikeout rate is notable, but the walk rate has been the clear problem in a very small sample. Tyler Phillips has a 3.53 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 89.1 innings, with a 6.65 K/9, 3.83 BB/9, and 1.11 HR/9. Over his last three starts, he has allowed 2 earned runs in each outing: 5.0 innings with 3 strikeouts and no walks on August 1, 5.0 innings with 5 strikeouts and 2 walks on July 27, and 4.1 innings with 2 strikeouts and 1 walk on July 21. His recent trend is down, pointing to steadier run prevention.
Teams — The Angels carry a .693 OPS and 477 runs scored, with a team 4.46 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. They are 3-7 over their last 10 games, which adds to the concern around current form. Miami has a .727 OPS and 502 runs scored, backed by a 4.04 team ERA and 1.25 WHIP. The Marlins are 6-4 in their last 10 and have been better than Los Angeles on both sides of the ball by the core season-long metrics provided. Miami’s edge in OPS, runs, team ERA, WHIP, and recent record suggests the more stable overall profile entering this matchup.
