Stephen Nover's MLB Total of the Week
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. Miami,
Total: 7.50 | -108.00 Under
Result: Loss
My first look is to the Under whenever the Marlins are in action. Why not? Miami has scored three or fewer runs in 15 of its last 18 games. The Marlins are in rebuild mode, playing youngsters who can't hit.

An Under makes sense here given this total in a pitching matchup of Noah Syndergaard versus Pablo Lopez.

Syndergaard has dominated the Marlins with a 7-2 record and 2.30 ERA in 14 career starts. Now he's not the same pitcher he was with the Mets, but he's crafty enough to hold punchless Miami down. He has a 3.27 ERA in two starts against the Marlins this season.

If you exclude a freakish 10-run game against the Rangers, the Marlins are averaging two runs per game during their last five games.

Lopez is good enough to hold the Phillies in check, especially throwing at pitcher-friendly loanDepot Park. He has a good lifetime record against Philadelphia with a 3.16 ERA in seven starts.

Weather shouldn't factor as there is just a slight wind - and it's blowing in.
