Miami Marlins vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction 

I trust what Zack Wheeler has done this season, and now he goes against a Marlins’ offense that has had some major issues all season. The Marlins are going to really struggle to get the offense going here, and that is going to be the difference here, as the Phillies are going to get the job done. The Marlins aren’t going to score more than a run total here, and that will be the difference. Back the Phillies on the run line.
