Miami Marlins vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction & Picks - MLB

When the odds closed for Monday's game between the Marlins and Phillies in Miami, Philadelphia closed the action before that game as a mere -120 favorite and ended up handing another L to Sandy Alcantara. The Phillies ended up winning a game that was close, but in which they never trailed. In great news for the Phillies, their SS and leadoff hitter, Turner, is putting up good numbers in June, even better in the last two days. On June 15 against the Blue Jays, Turner went 2-for-5, only to go 3-for-5 against the Marlins the next day. Turner hit his 8th home run of the season and drove in two of the Phillies' five runs.

For the Marlins, it was another poor hitting night, where they only allowed five hits and six Marlins batters left the game without a hit.

Luzardo, who had an excellent start to the season but had two disastrous outings against the Brewers and Blue Jays in late May and early this month, allowing 20 ER, will return to the Phillies' starting lineup on Tuesday. This caused concern, but he reassured Phillies fans that his last outing was a good one against the Cubs, pitching six innings and striking out 10.
