Philadelphia rolls into this contest after picking up a win in game one of this series, and they have allowed two runs or fewer in four of their last five games. The Phillies are 19-16 on the road this year, while the Marlins are 14-21 at home. Miami has played pretty well over the last two weeks, and its pitching staff has shown a little improvement. The Marlins are starting Quantrill, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. The Phillies are going with Luzardo, who has allowed 1, 8, 12, 3, and 1 earned runs in his last five outings. I don’t love how Luzardo has pitched recently, but this Phillies team is rolling right now. Take Philadelphia to win by at least two runs.
