Marlins vs Phillies Prediction
I’m on the Phillies here. The Phillies have two lefties who are going in completely different directions that we saw in this series, with Luzardo getting crushed on Tuesday. Now send out Ranger Suarez, who is in elite form right now, having been rolling through everyone over the last month or so since his rough outing in his season debut. The Marlins haven’t been great against lefties, and I think this could end up being a dominant start for Suarez on the way to a win and run line cover here. Give me the Phillies.
