Miami Marlins
(-110/-110)-110
The Miami Marlins will host the Philadelphia Phillies on June 16, 2025, in what promises to be an intriguing National League East matchup. The stakes are notable, as the Marlins currently sit at 28-41, struggling through a rough season, while the Phillies boast a strong 42-29 record. In their last game on June 15, the Marlins secured a victory over the New York Mets, winning 3-1. Meanwhile, the Phillies come off an impressive 11-4 win against the Atlanta Braves.
Sandy Alcantara is projected to take the mound for Miami. Despite being ranked as the 51st best starting pitcher in MLB according to advanced metrics, he faces challenges this season, holding a 3-7 record and an alarming 7.14 ERA. His recent outing was encouraging, as he pitched six innings of shutout ball on June 10, but his overall performance suggests he has been unlucky. The projections indicate he might allow 2.7 earned runs today, which could be problematic against a potent Phillies lineup.
On the other hand, Mick Abel is set to start for Philadelphia. Although he has a 1-0 record and an impressive 2.35 ERA this season, his performance metrics raise some concerns. With a 3.53 xFIP, the projections suggest he may not sustain his current level of success. Abel’s last outing saw him struggle, allowing three earned runs in just four innings.
The Marlins rank 19th in offense, with a particularly weak home run total, while the Phillies rank 7th overall. The Game Total for today is set at 8.5 runs, reflecting the expectation of a competitive contest. Betting markets see this as a closely contested game, with the Marlins having an average implied team total of 4.20 runs compared to the Phillies’ higher 4.30 runs. Given the current dynamics, the Phillies are positioned as slight favorites, but Alcantara’s potential resurgence could tilt the balance.
