Philadelphia Phillies vs. Miami Marlins Prediction

I’m on the Phillies in this one. I just think that Philadelphia has a huge edge in starting pitching in this game and it’s hard for me to get behind the Marlins in what looks to be a bit of a bullpen game. I think the Phillies are better than what they’ve shown for much of this series and I look for another strong showing from Luzardo on the way to a Phillies win.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Philadelphia -175
