Philadelphia Phillies vs Miami Marlins Prediction 

Philadelphia was able to bounce back after their game one loss with a nice win in game two, and they come into this matchup as a big favorite to win again. The Phillies are 32-13 at home, while the Marlins are just 13-26 on the road. Philadelphia has been one of the best teams in baseball this season and they are starting Aaron Nola, who has been mostly solid for them this year. Miami has dealt with quite a few injuries to their rotation, so they are starting Munoz, who has been very bad in recent outings. I think the Phillies are going to run away with this game, so my Philadelphia Phillies vs Miami Marlins prediction is for the Phillies to win by at least two runs.
