Pick
The Marlins will look to bounce back in this game after dropping Game 1 on Monday night, while Philadelphia will look to increase their lead for second place in the NL East. Miami has been incredible at home this season and they really could use a win here. The Marlins are starting Sandy Alcantara, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. The Phillies are starting Ranger Suarez, who has allowed 4, 4, 3, 3, and 5 earned runs in his last five starts. Alcantara has been getting better after a very slow start to the season and I like the Marlins to get the win here.
