Marlins vs Phillies MLB Betting Preview
Miami Marlins Betting Preview
After spending most of the season in the minor leagues, righty Ryan Gusto is back in the bigs. Gusto has just nine innings under his belt this year, pitching to a 6.00 ERA with a 4.25 xERA and a 1.77 FIP.
He posted some impressive numbers in the minors, boasting a 3.83 ERA with a 3.20 xERA and a 10.48 K/9.
Striking out hitters in the minors is nice, but it hasn't translated to Gusto's big league career. He punched out 8.50 per nine in over 100 innings last year, with an ERA over 5.00.
The Marlins have one of the more old-school offenses in the league. They rank 16th in MLB with a 100 wRC+ and are 14th with a .249 batting average since June 15th.
However, their lineup lacks power, ranking 26th with 27 home runs across their past 28 games.
The four best hitters for Miami over the past month (Otto Lopez, Jakob Marsee, Liam Hicks, and Xavier Edwards) each have strikeout rates below 18% over their past 28 games. That helps make up for the lack of power since their high-contact approach leads to a lot of base knocks.
Philadelphia Phillies Betting Preview
The scariest three words an MLB pitcher can hear?
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
Zack Wheeler was diagnosed with the vicious ailment that has effectively ended the careers of plenty of gifted pitchers, so it was tough to know what he could provide the Phillies with in 2026.
Upon returning, Wheeler looks like his old self, posting a 2.22 ERA, a 3.23 xERA, and a 3.58 FIP. The only concern is Wheeler's K/9 dropping from 11.72 to 8.42.
I'd expect some minor regression to come for Wheeler. I don't think it'll be anything strong, but a .209 BABIP indicates he's been pretty lucky. That could make this matchup challenging for Wheeler, since the Marlins will dink and dunk on teams. He isn't striking hitters out, and they don't strike out, so the ball will be in play plenty.
While the Marlins want to put the ball in play and lack power, the Phillies are the polar opposite.
The tide has turned for them of late, ranking 15th in MLB with a 111 wRC+ over their past 11 games. They have 16 homers in that span (12th), but lead the league with a 28% strikeout rate.
Keep an eye on the left-handed punch in this Philly lineup. Brandon Marsh boasts a 189 wRC+ with three homers in his last 11 games, while Bryce Harper has a 151 wRC+ and Kyle Schwarber has a 150 wRC+. The constants are Schwarber and Harper. That's the type of production you can rely on from them, but Marsh hitting like this adds an extra layer of danger.
My one concern for the Phillies is Trea Turner. He's been terrible, hitting .190 with an OPS under .540 in the last 30 games. Turner is hitting in between Harper and Schwarber, which is a bit of an issue.
Marlins vs Phillies Pick, Betting Analysis
I took a deep look at the side for this game. The Phillies are -207 ML favorites and are +100 on their -1.5 run line. I thought about the run line, but I don't fully trust Wheeler in this matchup.
Does he look good? Sure, but that BABIP terrifies me against a lineup that can BABIP-luck a pitcher out of a game.
I'm rolling with the over on 7.5 runs here. Gusto could be tagged for a decent amount of runs, and the Marlins offense is capable enough to score three or four runs to carry their weight.
Pick: Over 7.5 (play to 8)
