The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Miami Marlins 9-8 in 15 innings yesterday. I think we'll see another slug-fest here in Game 2 of the series Wednesday night.

The Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola (10-10, 3.71 ERA) is a terrific prospect, but he is 0-3 with a 10.67 ERA in three starts this season against the Marlins. Over is 4-1 in Nola's last five starts against Miami.

The Marlins Dan Straily (9-8, 3.95 ERA) is 3-1 despite a somewhat swollen 4.76 ERA in four starts against the Phillies on the season. Over is 4-0 in Straily's last four starts against the Phillies.

The Marlins are averaging a healthy 5.01 runs per game on the road this season but they're still just 32-41 away from home as most of their pitchers are struggling outside of Miami. Straily is no exception, and we should see an entertaining back and forth at Citizens Bank Park Wednesday night.

My selection is a 10* play on Over.
