Phillies vs Marlins Prediction
The Marlins have won their last three meetings against the Phillies, including their last two meetings in Miami.
In this Phillies vs Marlins Prediction, the Phillies are coming as -175 road favorites. I like the Phillies in a bounce-back spot with Jesus Luzardo, who has been untouchable lately, having one earned run or less in each of his last six starts. He has been even better on the road with a perfect 6-0 record and 1.38 ERA and the Marlins have been terrible against left-handed pitching lately, averaging 1.6 runs per game in their last 10 and just 0.6 in their last five. On top of that, their bullpen has been in very bad shape, so I like the Phillies to win this one on the road.
