Marlins pitcher Janson Junk's scoreless streak makes Miami the pick against struggling Aaron Nola

It has not been the most impressive stretch from me on the diamond lately.

I had a play on the Braves superstud Ozzie Albies yesterday, and despite him getting a pair of hits, he didn't cash my bet.

Seems almost difficult to do, but that was because I needed him to get three total bases instead of two.

I knew the parlay was a long shot, so I'm not disappointed in that.

Still, I need to get back on track and I have a look here between the Phillies and Marlins.

The Philadelphia Phillies are considered one of the bigger disappointments to start the MLB season.

Now that we are more than 30 games into the season, I think we have to accept that this is who the team is.

However, the Phillies didn't sit around doing nothing.

They saw that the team was underperforming and abandoned their plan.

They sent away their manager and have gone 5-1 since that dismissal.

They won yesterday's game and have assured themselves of at least a mutual 2-2 split of this four-game set.

PHILLIES FIRE ROB THOMSON, MAKE DON MATTINGLY TO INTERIM MANAGER AFTER DISMAL START TO THE SEASON
In this game, we have the hot Phillies, taking on the very talented Marlins team.

This is a young and hungry Miami squad against a Philadelphia team that is looking for a turnaround.

Of the two starters, I think the better one, at least right now, is Junk.

Nola has been reliable for years, but this has been a rough start.

I'm going to take the Marlins through five innings in this game.

Although the team looks a bit more rejuvenated, I think Nola needs to shift his mechanics a bit.

I'm going to take Miami at -120.
