Vince Velasquez gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 3.52 ERA and 40 strikeouts this season. Velasquez is 4-4 with a 4.88 ERA and 80 strikeouts in his career against the Marlins.

The Phillies are 19-39 in their last 58 road games and 1-4 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series. The Marlins are 7-3 in their last 10 home games and 18-39 in their last 57 during game 2 of a series. The under is 6-1 in Phillies last 7 road games. The under is 4-1 in Marlins last 5 overall. The Phillies are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in Miami and 1-5 in the last 6 meetings.
The Philadelphia Phillies continue to pile up the losses and they haven’t looked all that competitive in a lot of these games. The Miami Marlins are playing their best ball of the season, they’re starting to get players back from injury and Sandy Alcantara has been more than impressive this season, and he’s owned the Phillies throughout his short career. No reason not to side with the fish and the cheap price here.
