Money Line: -123.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Win
Miami has lost 13 of its last 15 road games and is having problems scoring minus Giancarlo Stanton and Dee Gordon, its two best offensive players.
The Marlins were only able to manage two runs in 11 1/3 innings facing Adam Morgan and Chad Billingsley during the first two games of the series. Now they draw lefty Cole Hamels, by far the Phillies' best pitcher.
Hamels has given up two or fewer runs in 12 of his 18 starts with a 123-to-37 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
The Marlins have lost seven of the past eight times when facing a lefty starter and also have the second-worst road mark in baseball.
Miami starter Dan Haren always has been a better first-half pitcher. The Marlins have dropped four of his last five road starts. Haren is just 2-6 with a 4.24 ERA in 12 career outings versus the Phillies.
