10* NL Game of the Week
(MLB) Miami vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: -117.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Win
On Tuesday we saw the Phillies come back from down 7-2 to win 9-8, tying the game in both the bottom of the 9th and bottom of the 10th. That's a tough loss to bounce back from for the Marlins and it's not like they have been playing well of late, as they are just 2-13 in their last 15 games. On top of that, Miami sends out a struggling Dan Straily, who has a 5.06 ERA and 1.812 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Philadelphia will send out Aaron Nola, who is a quality guy at home. The Marlins are out of the playoff hunt as their recent losing streak of where they have lost 13 of their last 15 games. The Phillies scored 9 runs yesterday and have shown prowess in their ability to score runs as each game for them is a success as they look forward to next season and building into next season so they are playing with a lot of pride and purpose. Phillies are 13-4 in their last 17 games after scoring 8 or more runs, while Miami is a mere 8-17 in their last 25 after putting up 8 or more runs and 7-24 in their last 31. The Marlins are 1-7 in their last 8 road games and Philadelphia is 7-1 on Nola's last 8 starts with 5 days of rest. I'm backing the PHILLIES here on Wednesday night.
