Marlins at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 4, Marlins 3

PASS.

There is no value on the Phillies’ moneyline Tuesday.

BET MARLINS -1.5 (-140).

The Phillies have what it takes to win Tuesday in their 1st game back home in 10 games, but with Walker returning to make his 1st start since June and Bellozo coming off a scoreless 6 innings, the Marlins will keep it close. Miami has scored 7 or more runs in back-to-back games, while Philadelphia has scored 2 or fewer in 2 of its last 3.

BET UNDER 9 (-115).

While the Marlins have scored 7 or more runs in back-to-back games, they had scored 4 or fewer in 6 of the previous 8. Philadelphia has scored 2 or fewer runs in 2 of its last 3 games while allowing 4 or fewer in 5 of its last 8. Expect a pitchers’ duel that will lead to the Under hitting Tuesday.
