The Philadelphia Phillies go on the road to open a three-game series against the Florida Marlins. The Phillies are 26-12 and have won seven of their last eight games. Miami has struggled this season and is 10-29 and have lost five of their last six. The Phillies had their seven-game winning streak snapped by the Blue Jays last time out. They will look to start another one with Roger Suarez taking the mound. He is 6-0 overall with a 1.72 ERA. He has started seven games this season and the Phillies have won all seven. In three road starts, he has a 1.29 ERA. The Marlins will hand the ball to Trevor Rogers. He, like the Marlins, has struggled this season, posting a 0-7 record and a 6.16 ERA. The Marlins are 0-7 when he has started. Miami is 5-15 at home this season. Philadelphia is 11-5 on the road. Philadelphia has a huge advantage on the mound and at the plate. I look for the Phillies to win by two or more runs.

Play on Philadelphia minus 1.5 runs. This is a 4% play.
