Philadelphia Phillies at Miami Marlins Betting Pick – Game Analysis
On Tuesday night, the Phillies and the Marlins face off for a three-game series. The Phillies are coming off a sweep of the Nationals and the Marlins are coming off a 1-1 series split with the Rangers.
This is the series between these two teams this season. The Phillies lead the season series 10-6 over Miami. For this matchup, Miami is a -120 home favorite, the run line is 1.5, and the total is seven runs.
Phillies Poised To Make Playoffs
The Phillies are coming off a huge sweep of the Nationals and they need to keep up that momentum in order to make the playoffs.
Philly has a 3.5-game lead over the Brewers for the second Wild Card spot and just a 1.5-game lead over the Padres. The Phillies are 78-62 on the season and they are 34-31 on the road this year.
Bailey Falter will make the start for the Phillies tonight in Miami. This will be his 12th start of the season. Through 11 starts, Falter is 4-3 with a 4.02 ERA, a 4.97 FIP, and a 1.20 WHIP. This will be his third time pitching against the Marlins this season.
In his last start, which was against Miami at home, Falter allowed two runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings of work. On the road this season, Falter has a 3.33 ERA, a .252 batting average against, a 5.01 FIP, and a 1.19 WHIP. The Phillies are 3-0 in his last three road starts and 8-1 straight up in his last nine starts.
Alcantara Looks To Close Season Strong
The Marlins will not be playing October baseball this season, but that does not mean that they cannot play spoiler in their own division.
Miami has played the Phillies tight all season long, and they can hurt their playoff hopes by winning this series. Miami is 58-83 on the season and they are 28-41 at home this year.
Sandy Alcantara will make the start for Miami tonight at home. On the season, Alcantara is 12-7 with a 2.43 ERA, a 1.01 WHIP, and a 3.07 FIP. This will be his sixth time pitching against the Phillies this season.
His last start was against the Phillies, and he allowed three runs on eight hits in six innings of work. Alcantara has been brilliant this year, and he has held the Phillies to just two runs in all but one of his starts against them this season. At home, Alcantara has a 1.61 ERA, a .189 batting average against, a 2.79 FIP, and a .87 WHIP.
Philadelphia Phillies at Miami Marlins Betting Pick & Prediction
The Phillies are hard to pass up as underdogs. Sandy is on another level, but Miami does not give him run support in crucial situations.
Falter scares me, but the Marlins lineup is bad, so I do not think they can take advantage of him. I expect the Phillies to win this game in the eighth or ninth innings.
