Philadelphia Phillies vs. Miami Marlins Prediction

I’m on the Marlins in this one. I get the case to be made for the Phillies as they’re rolling and Luzardo had a nice bounce back start last time out. However, the Marlins have still been hitting lefties fairly well as of late and I think Quantrill can keep them competitive with Luzardo only one start removed from allowing 20 runs in two starts. I think the Marlins have a good chance at the upset here so give me the Marlins in this one.
