Marlins vs Phillies Pick
The Philadelphia Phillies are a solid choice to win outright as their starting pitcher, Cristopher Sanchez, handcuffed Miami hitters on June 19. Miami is without its leading run producer in Kyle Stowers. The Marlins on the runline (+1.5) is another strong play as Miami is 80-60 on the runline, which is second best in baseball, and Philly is only 70-69, which is 14th.
