Miami at Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Phillies have played very well since the All-Star break and if the season ended today they would be a wild card team in the MLB playoffs. There is still work to do. The Phillies are just 3-6 in their last 9 games. The concern of late is the pitching staff has allowed 60 runs in those 9 games or 6.7 a contest. The Marlins are playing poorly right now and have dropped 9 straight games. It isn't as bad as it looks as five of those losses were by a single run, including the first two of this series. That puts Philadelphia on the short side of history. A team that lost the first two games of a series by one run in each game, and is a road dog has a 9% ROI covering the last 151 occurrences. Make the play on Miami.
