Saturday MLB Pick

The Philadelphia Phillies will look to even the score with the Miami Marlins when they play the second game of a 3-game set in a matinée today at Citizens Bank Park. The Marlins took Game 1 yesterday in a 5-2 victory and have had the Phillies’ number of late, winning 9 of the last 13 meetings, but today they have to face Zack Wheeler. Wheeler has dominated the Marlins in his career, owning a 7-3 record with a nasty ERA of 1.91 to go along with a WHIP of only 0.93. Miami is expected to send Caleb Smith to the hill and the last time he faced Philadelphia he was lit up, allowing 6 runs including 2 homers in just 3 innings of work. The Phillies’ bats have yet to come alive and it’s just a matter of time before they do. Today could be that day.
