Phillies vs Marlins Prediction
Momentum can play a big role when looking to make MLB picks, and the Phillies are clearly a team that is playing some great baseball of late. Miami was able to give Philadelphia a challenge in the series opener on Tuesday night, but look for a little more separation in this game.
The Marlins just haven’t been a good offensive team and it’s hard to see them doing much damage in this game. Philadelphia will find a way to come up with some big swings yet again and will pull away for a comfortable victory.
