Philadelphia Phillies vs Miami Marlins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 06/17/25

The Phillies have been victorious in 6 of their last 7 games, and they enter this contest riding a 5-game win streak. Philadelphia took the first game of this series by a score of 5-2 on Monday night thanks to home runs from Trea Turner and Max Kepler. The Phillies have scored 34 total runs during their 5-game win streak, which is good for an average of 6.8 runs per game. They could be in a good spot to keep things rolling at the plate as they go up against Miami starting pitcher Cal Quantrill. Quantrill owns an ERA of 5.61 through 59.1 innings this season, and opponents are hitting a strong .304 against him at home.

The Phillies will send Jesus Luzardo to the mound to go up against his former team. Luzardo spent 3.5 seasons in Miami, and will now face the Marlins for the second time this season. The 27-year-old left-hander allowed just 1 earned run over 7 innings against Miami back on April 20. He struck out 7 batters without issuing a walk, but despite his solid outing, the Phillies ultimately fell by a score of 7-5 in extra innings. Things could be different this time around. Luzardo has allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in 10 of his 14 starts this season, and he should be able to put his team in a solid position in this one. Consider backing the Phillies on the run line.
