Philadelpiha Phillies vs Miami Marlins Prediction
I might take a crack on the Marlins here. Meyer really needs a bounce-back start, though. In his last pair Meyer is 0-2 with nine earned in 10.2 innings total. He managed 6.0 innings with two earned versus the Cubs in a no-decision before that, however.
On Saturday the Marlins fought through a few rough innings on the mound with a nice offensive performance. Connor Norby, Jonah Bride and Otto Lopez each had home runs in the win. I like Miami to keep it going Sunday.
