Phillies vs. Marlins Prediction: Thursday, September 5th

Once again, we are betting good teams against bad teams as we roll through September on the MLB picks page! The newest edition finds the Phillies down south taking on the Marlins tonight in a matchup that should be favorable for the Phils all the way around. 

On the mound, it’ll be Ranger Suarez and his 3.02 ERA against Adam Oller who has only made 3 starts this season so far. Those few starts have been up and down but he’s yet to face a team like the Phillies and it's going to be a bad time for him. Philadelphia is also 35-31 on the run line this season on the road and averages 4.59 runs per game as well. They should win this game going away, but with the ML chalk, we will have to fade that in favor of the run line. So, let’s bet on the road team to cover this evening. 

Next wager for this game must come on a bat and it's looking like Bryce Harper is the hottest name on the docket for tonight. Harper comes into this series hitting .400 over the past 7 days with a 1.028 OPS and 3 doubles during that time. Oller has also struggled more so against the lefty bats in his starts, so give me Bryce to keep it and go over his total bases in this matchup. 

Last wager for my MLB best bets today is backing Ranger Suarez who has been so damn good this season overall. He’s had a rough July and August, but a bounce back should be in the works as the Marlins offense is one of the worst in the league. Give me the over on his outs recorded tonight as it’s fallen down to under 6 innings, so I will grab the 17.5 outs towards the over!
