MIA Marlins @ PHI Phillies Tips

The Marlins have struggled for consistency, particularly on the offensive side, often failing to provide run support for their pitchers. With the better form, depth, and momentum, the Philadelphia Phillies moneyline is the safer and stronger play.

The way these two teams match up often produces games decided by narrow margins. Miami typically manage to hang around on the scoreboard, making it risky to expect a wide gap. That trend points to the safer side of the handicap being Miami +1.5, even with Philadelphia winning outright.

This handicap for the Phillies looks like a very good choice. The Phillies are a better team. They will play at home and will have a better starting pitcher. In head-to-head, the Phillies won with this handicap in two games out of the last three played.
