Marlins vs Phillies Prediction
I’m on the Phillies in this one. I just can’t buy into Sandy Alcantara yet after two strong starts against the Rockies and Pirates, of all teams. The Phillies are coming off of a strong series against the Blue Jays in a sweep at home. It’s not often you’re going to get the Phillies with a reasonable price attached, but that’s the Sandy Alcantara effect on this matchup. Give me the Phillies in this one.
