Miami Marlins vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/24/25, 3:43 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

The Phillies have the second-best record in MLB, three games behind the Brewers to take the best record in the National League. Even without achieving that, the Phillies have had a remarkable season, with a team that also strengthened significantly at the trade deadline, seeking glory in October. Currently, the Phillies are the second favorites, behind only the Dodgers, in betting to win the World Series, paying odds around +500.

For all the success the Phillies have had this year, with a monstrous season from Kyle Schwarber, who hit his 53rd home run of the season, the Phillies failed to beat the Marlins, and that's now three straight losses, adding to the two consecutive defeats they suffered in the desert against the D-backs.

Keeping a low profile, the young Marlins team—which has even been mocked for the fact that no one knows a Marlins player because it's a team made up almost entirely of rookies—has a surprisingly good 77-80 record and is in the midst of their best streak of the season, having won their last 7 games, all on the road!

With this, the Marlins have surpassed the Braves in the standings and have an incredible opportunity to record a winning season if they can maintain this streak.
