The Phillies are 4-2 in their last 6 head-to-head meetings against the Marlins, but both teams are tied 2-2 wins in their last 4 meetings in Philadelphia.
In this Marlins vs Phillies Prediction, the Phillies are coming as -200 home favorites. The Phillies continue to struggle since they clinched their playoff spot, while on the other hand, the Marlins are red-hot are they are still fighting for a Wild Card spot. Luzardo has been terrible for the Phillies lately, with 4 earned runs in each of his last two starts, and he has been weaker at home this season, with a 4.50 ERA across 15 home starts. Miami has a better bullpen, while Philly is weaker against lefties, so I will take a stab with the big road dog in this one. Take the Marlins at plus money on the road in this one.
