In this article, we will formulate a Miami Marlins vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction for this MLB game on Friday,  September 6th, at LoanDepot Park. 

Phillies Leaned on Pitching

The Phillies leaned on the pitching on Thursday, and they gave up only two runs on the way to the victory. The offense scored four runs in the 6th inning and that was enough for the victory. Ranger Suarez went five innings, giving up three hits and zero runs. The Phillies are averaging 4.84 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.03 runs per game. The offense is ranked 6th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 6th. 

Kyle Schwarber has hit 32 home runs and driven in 89 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Phillies will be Zack Wheeler, who sits with a 13-6 record and an ERA of 2.63. In his last start against the Atlanta Braves, he went seven innings, giving up four hits and zero runs. 

Why the Phillies Will Beat the Marlins

  • The Marlins have lost each of their last six night games against teams that held a winning record.
  • The Phillies have won eight of their last nine night games against National League opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Marlins have failed to cover the run line each of their last six night games against National League opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Phillies have covered the run line in each of their last five road games.

Marlins Need to Get The Offense Going

The Marlins need to get the offense going after they struggled again on Thursday. The Marlins scored two runs, but it wasn’t enough as the pitching gave up five runs. If they want success in this series, the Marlins are going to need the offense to get going or this is going to be a very long couple of games. The Marlins are averaging 3.78 runs, while their pitching is giving up 5.14 runs per game. The offense is ranked 29th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 28th in the league. 

Jake Burger has hit 25 home runs and driven in 60 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Marlins will be Edward Cabrera, who sits with a 3-6 record and an ERA of 5.33. In his last start against the San Francisco Giants, he went 5.1 innings giving up six hits and two runs. 

Miami Marlins vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

The Phillies are going to cruise here. Cabrera was better in his last start, but he sits with an ERA of 5.33, and he’s going to be awful here. Wheeler sits with an ERA of 2.63 and in his last start he gave up zero runs. The Marlins’ offense has been a major issue all season, and they are going to really struggle here. The Phillies will tee off on Cabrera here and the Phillies will get the job done. Back the Phillies -2.5 to cash here.
