This is a 7* on PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia was one of the few favorites on the board that lost last night. We don’t see them losing again to the Marlins and thus are playing accordingly. A 1-1 game turned into a 5-1 Marlins’ advantage thanks to one big inning last night. However let us not forget how horrible Miami has been on the road these last few seasons (53-109 record!). Five Phillies hitters, including Bryce Harper, combined to go 0 for 19 at the plate last night. That won’t be happening again. There was some debate over whether Zach Wheeler would be able to make his scheduled start for the Phillies. He will and figures to pitch well considering his 7-3 career record vs. Miami that comes with a 1.91 ERA. Wheeler should also be inspired by the fact that his wife just gave birth (which is why there was some debate if he would make this start). Chris Smith pitched okay down the stretch last year for the Marlins, but we just don’t see this team winning two days in a row on the road. 7* on PHILADELPHIA
