The model, which ran 10,000 simulations on each of Tuesday's games, likes Philadelphia (+105) to knock off Miami. The Phillies (78-62) enter the game having won three straight games and four of their last five. Two of those victories came against the Marlins in Philadelphia last week. Meanwhile, the slumping Marlins (58-83) have lost three of four and 12 of their last 15.
Miami's bats have gone ice-cold as over 11 games in September, the Marlins have an OPS of .640 and a slugging percentage of .344. Only the Twins (.635 OPS and .342 slugging) have been worse in the majors in both categories. Miami is 3-8 in those 11 games. See who else to back right here.
