The Philadelphia Phillies will head south tonight to open a 3-game set with the Miami Marlins. The Marlins have lost 12 straight games and after tonight it could very well be 13. The Phillies are expected to send their ace to the hill, Zack Wheeler, and he is not in the habit of losing. Wheeler is 10-2 with an ERA of only 2.16 and a barely visible WHIP of 0.88. In his career he has owned the Marlins, with a record of 14-4 and a 2.50 ERA. The Marlins are expected to hand the ball to Tyler Phillips. He is 2-5 with a 3.52 ERA, a 1.39 WHIP, and in his career against the Phillies he is 0-1 with a 5.93 ERA. Philadelphia is coming off a 11-4 romp over the New York Yankees and is 5-2 this year against Miami.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
