Free Pick on Phillies -

I like the value here with Philadelphia as a short home favorite against the Marlins on Wednesday. The Phillies are riding a huge wave of momentum into this one, as they pulled off an improbable 9-8 win in 15 innings on Tuesday. Philly trailed 2-7 after 6 innings, but score 1 in the 7th, 3 in the 8th and 1 more in the 9th to send it to extra. They then matched Miami in the 10th with a run.

That's a tough loss to bounce back from for the Marlins and it's not like they have been playing well of late, as they are just 2-13 in their last 15 games. On top of that, Miami sends out a struggling Dan Straily, who has a 5.06 ERA and 1.812 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Phillies on the other hand counter with Aaron Nola, who is 7-4 with a 3.18 ERA and 1.045 WHIP in 11 home starts.

Phillies are 13-4 in their last 17 games after scoring 8 or more runs, while Miami is a mere 8-17 in their last 25 after putting up 8 or more runs and 7-24 in their last 31 when they come into a contest having lost 4 of their last 5. Take Philadelphia!
