Marlins vs Phillies Prediction
The Phillies are 4-1 in their last 5 head-to-head meetings against the Marlins, and are 2-1 in their last 3 meetings in Philadelphia. Under is 3-1-1 in their last 5 meetings.
In this Marlins vs Phillies Prediction, the Phillies are coming as -225 home favorites. The Phillies have been struggling since they clinched their playoff spot, while on the other hand, the Marlins still have mathematical chances for a Wild Card spot, and are playing their best baseball of the season in the best possible time. But Cabrera has been unstable for the Marlins lately, with 4+ earned runs in three of his last four starts, and he has been weaker on the road. the Marlins have also been terrible against left-handed pitching, so I like the Philles to win this one comfortably and cover the runline.
