Marlins vs Phillies Parlay Picks & Predictions
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Philadelphia Phillies -1.5″ subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/phi.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Few teams are more talented in the National League than the Phillies. Veteran Kyle Schwarber leads the team with six home runs and 14 RBI, and Zack Wheeler will patrol the rubber on Friday.
Wheeler is 1-1 this season with an ERA of 4.07, but he’s due for a strong start on Friday.
The Phillies’ ace has allowed nine runs over his last two starts.
On Friday, Wheeler is in a strong position to bounce back against one of the worst lineups in baseball.
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Jesus Sanchez 2+ Bases” subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/08/2023-mlb-logo-miami-marlins.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
One Marlins player who’s enjoyed success against Wheeler is Jesus Sanchez.
The veteran is 7-for-19 against him in his career.
I love the value we’re getting on this play on Friday.
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Alec Bohm 1+ Hit” subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/phi.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Alec Bohm has started the season slowly but is in a favorable matchup on Friday.
The Phillies third baseman is 9-for-26 in his career against Sandy Alcantara.
Bohm will continue his success on Friday.
