17 Jun 2025 | 6:10 PM ET | loanDepot park, Miami

The Philadelphia Phillies are riding a five-game winning streak into their matchup against the Miami Marlins, who have won three of their last four games. Philadelphia's recent success has been bolstered by a strong bullpen and the potential return of key players to the lineup. In contrast, Miami continues to grapple with injuries, affecting their infield depth and overall performance. The Phillies' offense has historically performed well against Miami's starting pitcher, who has recently struggled with consistency, including a notably poor outing where he allowed 7 earned runs in just over three innings.
Considering the Phillies' current momentum and the Marlins' ongoing challenges, backing Philadelphia on the moneyline appears to be a solid bet. The combination of a healthier roster, a deeper bullpen, and favorable matchups against Miami's pitching staff suggests that the Phillies have a sturdy edge in this contest.

The Philadelphia Phillies, currently on a five-game winning streak, head into their matchup against the Miami Marlins with a potent offense, averaging over six runs per game during this stretch. Their lineup has shown depth and consistency, posing a significant challenge for opposing pitchers. On the mound, the Phillies are set to start a right-hander who has been effective this season, maintaining a nearly league average ERA and WHIP, indicating strong control and efficiency. Conversely, the Marlins are navigating a challenging season, but come in winning three of their last four games. Their starting rotation has been impacted by injuries, leading to reliance on less experienced pitchers. The Marlins' bullpen has also faced difficulties, with a collective WHIP ranking in the bottom half of the league since June 1.
Given the Phillies' offensive momentum and the Marlins' pitching struggles, this game has the potential for high scoring. Both teams' bullpens have shown vulnerabilities, which could lead to additional runs in the later innings. Considering these factors, betting on the over for total runs scored seems a prudent choice.

Philadelphia arrives on a five-game win streak with renewed urgency in the division race, while Miami continues to spiral this season, leaving them all but eliminated from playoff contention already. The Phillies benefit from a fully healthy lineup and are expected to turn to a veteran right-hander who has consistently excelled in this matchup. On the flip side, the Marlins remain short-handed both in the batting order and on the mound, which only deepens the imbalance. Miami’s veteran righty draws a difficult assignment against a lineup that’s historically teed off on him, making this a tough spot to snap the skid.
Given the disparity in recent form, roster health, and pitching splits, backing the Phillies on the -1.5 run line has real value. Philadelphia’s offense is clicking, and with the bullpen likely to be used strategically in a playoff-style push for every inch of advantage, it’s hard to see them letting this one come down to a single run.
