It's hard not to like the Philadelphia Phillies here in their season opener against the Miami Marlins. The visitors hand the ball to Sandy Alcantara who was 6-14 with a 3.88 ERA last season. That he's the best the Marlins have to go with says more about the Fish than about Alcantara who is far from an ace. I have way more trust in Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola (2019: 12-7, 3.87 ERA) and Philadelphia has the better bats by a mile. While they couldn't get things to click last season, they have enough talent to beat Miami.

8* play on Philadelphia Phillies.
