Phillies-Marlins Free Pick
(The Spread) – The Marlins will host the Phillies at 7:10PM ET tonight when the two teams play the rubber match of the series.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Phillies –111 money line favorites over the Marlins, who are +105 on the ML. The over/under total for this game is currently sitting at 7 runs.
The Phillies took Game 1 of the series on Monday in a 6-4 victory, but their offense failed Roy Halladay on Tuesday in a 2-1 defeat. In their last 10 games, the Phillies are 6-4 but they’ve lost two of their last three games.
After losing three in a row last week and four of their last five coming into this series, the Marlins have slowly started to right the ship. They’ve won two of their last three games, which includes a 2-1 victory over the Phillies last night thanks in large part to Josh Johnson matching up with Halladay. Now they’ll send Ricky Nolasco to the hill against Cliff Lee.
MLB Free Pick: Lee got smacked around a little in his last start by the Braves, who scored three runs on nine hits off the Lefy. But Lee struck out 16 batters and lasted seven innings, so clearly he hasn’t lost anything since coming over from the AL last year (despite what his 2-3 record would indicate). It’s not often when bettors have the opportunity to back Lee on such a nice price, so I would recommend jumping on it. According to latest MLB trends, the Phillies are 8-2 in their last 10 games against the Marlins and 20-7 in their last 27 trips to Florida. Take Philly and lay the juice.
