Rotation # 907
Phillies -1.5 runs over Marlins -145 (win)
Sanchez/Bellozo
The Phillies’ slugging percentage has been outstanding since the All-Star break, and they have the better starting pitcher in this matchup. Cristopher Sanchez can get many strikeouts, which is not promising for a Marlins team that is last in baseball in slugging percentage against left-handed pitchers. The Phillies are not a team that strikes a lot, and Marlins starter Valente Bellozo is not a pitcher who strikes out many hitters. Philadelphia wants to increase its lead in the division over the Mets, so it must win games against weaker opponents. We will take the run line. Take the Phillies -1.5 runs over the Marlins -145.
