Marlins vs Phillies Prediction

The Phillies are 7-1 in their last 8 meetings against the Marlins and have won their last four meetings in Philadelphia.

In this Marlins vs Phillies Prediction, the Phillies are coming as -120 home favorites. I don’t trust either pitching in this matchup, as they have a combined 10.68 ERA with Alcantara sitting on a 5.24 road ERA and Painter having 15 earned runs across his last three starts. Phillies’ bats have woken up, having scored 7+ runs in three of their last four games so I expect a high-scoring affair. Take the over 9 runs.
