Trends

Miami is 4-1 in their last 5 game three’s of a series and 2-8 in their last 10 Wednesday games. The over is 4-1-1 in Miami’s last 6 games. Philadelphia is 6-2 in their last 8 games against the NL East and 4-10 in their last 14 games. The over is 8-1 in Philadelphia’s last 9 games against the NL East. Miami is 4-11 in these two teams last 15 head to head meetings. 

Pick

These two teams have split the first two games in this series and will look for the series win in this matchup. Both starting pitchers have struggled so far this year and I think this game will be high scoring, just like the previous two. I am taking the over here. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
