ASA 10* MLB Situational Slam
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. Miami,
Money Line: -142.00 Philadelphia (Away)
Result: Loss
ACTION on pitchers. Team and situational edges clearly with the visitors in this one – #955 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Philadelphia Phillies -145 over Miami Marlins, Saturday at 7:10 PM ET – When a team is down 6-0 on the road and it is beyond the halfway point in a contest and they come back to win the game, that team is definitely "feeling it" and that is the situation right now with these Phillies. With that 7-6 win at Washington yesterday, Philadelphia has won 6 straight games which is the longest winning streak in the majors right now. Also, the Phillies have scored at least 7 runs in 7 straight games! The Marlins, on the other hand, have been struggling to score runs. Yesterday's 4-3 loss at New York (lost both match-ups with the Mets) dropped Miami to 4-11 in their last 15 games. Miami has been held to 3 or less runs in 10 of those 14 games! While the Phillies have scored at least 7 runs in 7 straight games, the Marlins have scored more than 6 runs just 2 times in the last 17 games! Phillies starter Kyle Gibson is 10-4 with a 2.66 ERA on the season and has produced quality starts in 5 of his 6 outings since coming to Philly from Texas this summer. The Marlins Jesus Luzardo is off a strong start versus the Reds but this followed tough performances in each of his first five starts with Miami after coming over from Oakland. Luzardo allowed 24 earned runs in 22 and 1 / 3 innings in those five starts. We have the big pitching edge here but even taking the starting pitching out of the equation, the team edge and situational edge is squarely with the visitors in this one. We will grab the road team as a small favorite on the money line in this one and bet Philadelphia Phillies -145
