Free MLB Picks Analysis: Little known 24-year old Marlins right-hander Henderson Alvarez (4-3 2.39 E.R.A.) is one of the best pitchers in “The Show.” The short (6’0″) and charismatic Venezuelan throws gas (93-96 MPH) and has outstanding command. Opposite of the no-name Alvarez for Philadelphia is former Marlins ace A.J. Burnett (5-6 3.89). The 37-year old Burnett (91-94 MPH) has thrown well recently but is coming off a complete game that might have taken a little something out of the veteran. When things go to the bullpen the Marlins have a slight edge with Miami’s Steve Cishek a better closer than Philadelphia’s Jonathan Papelbon. Marlins vs Phillies Betting Odds Total is at 7.5 Runs
Philadelphia does not play particularly well at home (17-22) and they will be facing a Miami offense that has scores nearly a half a run per game better (Miami 4.30 runs per game/Philadelphia 3.90). The younger Marlins are a touch better defensively than the aging Phillies and Miami knows they need to win this game with Philadelphia ace Cole Hamels pitching tomorrow night.
