Marlins Impressed on Tuesday 

The Marlins impressed on Tuesday, and they scored five runs on the way to the victory. They scored two runs in the first inning and that was enough for the victory. Jake Burger and Jesus Sanchez both hit a home run to pace the Marlins. Valentine Bellozo had a strong game, going seven innings, giving up four hits and zero runs. The Marlins are averaging 3.69 runs, while their pitching is giving up 5.05 runs per game. The offense is ranked 29th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 28th. Jake Burger has hit 22 home runs and driven in 53 RBIs. The Marlins will meet the Mets after this series.

Phillies Offense Looks to Bounce Back

The Phillies' offense has been good this season, but on Tuesday they weren’t good. The Phillies failed to score any runs and that led to the defeat. Taijuan Walker also didn’t play well, going four innings, giving up four hits and three runs. The Phillies are averaging 4.85 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.09 runs per game. The offense is ranked 7th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 7th in the league. Kyle Schwarber has hit 27 home runs and driven in 74 RBIs. Getting the start for the Phillies will be Tyler Phillips, who sits with a 4-1 record and an ERA of 4.83. In his last start against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he went five innings giving up six hits and four runs. 

Why the Phillies Will Beat the Marlins

  • The Phillies have won each of their last six games against NL East opponents following a home loss.
  • The Marlins have lost seven of their last eight games at Citizens Bank Park following a road win.
  • The Phillies have covered the run line in seven of their last eight night games against NL East opponents following a loss.
  • The Marlins have failed to cover the run line in each of their last four night games at Citizens Bank Park following a road win.

Miami Marlins vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

I don’t trust Tyler Phillips and even though he has a 4-1 record it’s more because he has gotten run support. Phillies in his last start went five innings giving up six hits and four runs. The Marlins' offense is going to tee off here. The Phillies are averaging 4.85 runs per game, and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. This game is going to be a shootout and the over is going to cash.
