Miami Marlins at Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

Heading into Wednesday afternoon’s showdown between Miami and Philadelphia, the Phillies are just a slight favorite to pick up the win. However, I recommend taking the Marlins to win their 2nd in a row vs Philadelphia. In his last outing vs the Phillies, Pablo Lopez worked 5 1/3 scoreless innings. I expect another strong outing from the Marlins right-hander.
