Philadelphia Phillies (68-58) and Miami Marlins (64-62) will continue with their three-game series on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies edged out the Marlins 6-5 in a Monday night thriller, with Christopher Sanchez earning his league-leading 16th win. He was highly effective during the six innings, giving up just a single run while working around three walks and eight hits. They’ll be keen to get a series-winning victory tonight.

Despite the narrow defeat, Miami Marlins were also impressive on Monday night. They had six players recording two hits, including Xavier Edwards with two runs and Javier Sanoja with two RBIs. Their starter during the night, Jason Junk, gave up two runs and eight hits to drop to 6-8 this season. The only worry for the visitors is that they scored four of their five runs after Sanchez left the mound. The Marlins are the exciting +190 underdogs tonight.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Miami Marlins Prediction

The Phillies are the -260 betting favorites and rightfully so. They’ve shown immense hunger in recent matches, especially when playing at home, where they’ve gone 6-3 in the last nine games. In the process, they’ve scored an average of 6.11 runs per game. This attacking efficiency should give them the upper hand against Cade Gibson, who has a 5.61 ERA this season. However, the Phillies have also had a few pitching concerns lately, giving up an average of 4.4 runs in the last 10 matches. They’ve also tallied an average of 4.78 opponent runs in the last nine matches. These statistics suggest that the total runs will exceed 7.5 tonight.

Our prediction for Philadelphia Phillies vs Miami Marlins: Over 7.5 runs to hit.

Prediction:

 

Over 7.5 runs to hit.
