Philadelphia Phillies vs. Miami Marlins Prediction
I’m on the Marlins here. I think that the way that Miami won on Monday, in walkoff fashion, can give them some momentum heading into this matchup. Aaron Nola has been more than hittable this season, and I’m looking for Miami to keep up the offense here. Alcantara has been solid at home this season and has been one of the best arms Miami has had. I’ll side with Miami in this one.
