Miami Marlins vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
After a surprising start to the season, the Marlins have lost five straight games and are falling apart at the plate and on the mound. The Marlins basically look like the Marlins we expected them to look. Gillispie has allowed 19 hits and 14 earned runs in 19 innings, so he’s probably not the guy to right the ship. The Phillies have caught fire offensively and Luzardo has allowed four runs in 18.1 innings. Luzardo spent the last four seasons with the Marlins, so this is a potential revenge spot. Give me the Phillies and the RL for max betting value. The Marlins are fade material at the moment, especially against good teams and pitchers.
