Miami Marlins vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction: Marlins to win this game 2

Wednesday's Major League Baseball action from Marlins Park features a matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Miami Marlins. This will be the second of a total of four games that make up this series. The Phillies were victorious with a two-run margin in the first game of this Series, which was played on Monday.

This past weekend, the Miami Marlins defeated the Detroit Tigers in a three-game series by virtue of their victories on Friday (6-5) and Sunday (8-6), respectively. In the decisive game, both Garrett Hampson and Garrett Cooper of Miami contributed two runs batted in each. Luis Arraez contributed to Miami's victory on Monday by collecting three hits and scoring a run. In addition, Jorge Soler hit a home run and contributed two runs batted in. Sandy Alcantara is going to take the mound for the Miami Marlins on Wednesday as the team's starting pitcher. This year, Alcantara has made 21 starts and has a record of 4-9 with a 4.46 ERA, 113 strikeouts, and 135.1 innings pitched. Alcantara has a record of 2-4 with a 3.47 ERA and 18 earned runs in 46.2 total innings pitched over the course of his previous seven starts.

The Philadelphia Phillies had a rough weekend against the Pittsburgh Pirates, losing two of the three games in the series. In the last game of the series on Sunday, the Philadelphia Phillies lost 6-4. Alec Bohm had three hits and drove in three runs. Even though their offence was relatively lacklustre and they only got six hits against the Miami Marlins on Monday, the Philadelphia Phillies were still able to pull out a 4-2 victory. Alec Bohm contributed to the team's success by collecting two singles and one run batted in, and the team as a whole drew ten walks. Ranger Suarez will take the mound for the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday as the team's starting pitcher. Suarez is currently 2-5 on the season with a 4.22 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 79.0 innings pitched in his 14 starts. In his previous seven starts, Suarez has a record of 1-3 with a 4.57 earned run average. He has struck out 38 batters while pitching 41.1 innings.

My pick to win this contest is going to be Miami, almost without a doubt. Since Suarez has been pitching a little erratically as of late, the Marlins should have several opportunities to score runs against him. Suarez has a record of 0-1 over the course of his most recent three outings while allowing 11 earned runs across 17.0 innings thrown and having a losing record throughout that stretch. Although they gave up a high number of walks (10), the pitching staff for the Miami Marlins wasn't terrible during the game that they played on Monday. Overall, they weren't too bad. Especially in the latter phases of the game, the offence did not contribute much in the way of help. Having said that, the Miami Marlins have scored six or more runs in two of their last three games, so I have high expectations that their offence will return to its normal form in game two.
