Phillies 5, Marlins 3
Money line
AVOID: The price on Philly isn’t that out of whack, but the Run Line offers excellent leverage.

Run line/Against the spread
Lots of value here; move fast. PHILADELPHIA -1.5 (-105) is a strong play.
With the way these two offenses have been going, the way Wheeler dominates at home, the way Garrett has scuffled on the road, and with the Miami lefty coming off a season-high pitch count, there is more than enough leverage on a multi-run win for the home nine — even in a low-scoring game.
Over/Under
Some under-the-radar pitching signals point to an Under here. However, on a warm and humid evening at hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park, and with the lefty-righty pitching matchup swinging both clubs around to their best platoon figures, a PASS is recommended.
