[FONT=&quot]The Philadelphia Phillies and Florida Marlins play a twi-night doubleheader on Tuesday in two games that the Marlins have to win to stay in the Wild Card race. Realistically, the Marlins are done unless they win every game the rest of the season and then get help with the Rockies losing some games. Neither scenario seems likely, especially since the Marlins have to play the Phillies this week.<o

[FONT=&quot]The Marlins haven’t won a game against the Phillies all season and that is definitely part of their problem. The Marlins are 0-6 against the Phillies this season and have been outscored 49-18. Florida would definitely have to sweep this series to have a chance to stay in the race. "It's getting to where we have to win every game," first baseman Ross Gload said, "It's getting to the point where we're running out of games. If Colorado wins every game the rest of the year, it doesn't matter what we do. The Phillies are going to be tough. They're way ahead and they have good pitching. Most of the season, you say, 'It's in our hands, and if we take care of business, we'll be all right.' That's not necessarily the case. We need some help from some other teams in some other areas." <o

[FONT=&quot]The good news for the Marlins is that in the first game they give the ball to Josh Johnson who is 15-4 with a 3.01 ERA this season. He is 4-1 with a 2.98 ERA in seven starts versus the Phillies. This season he is 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 13 innings against the Phillies.<o
