Miami winds up a six-game trek, off back-to-back losses by a combined 12-3. The pitching has been terrible, allowing 34 runs the last five contests. And speaking of terrible pitching, the Marlins go with Andrew Cashner (5-11, 5.22 ERA), off a 12-7 loss to Atlanta allowing seven runs in two innings. For the season, he is 0-6 on the road with a 7.84 ERA! The Marlins are on a 6-14 run, 3-9 on the road. Philadelphia is home for the seventh straight time. The Phillies have won four in a row against a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. They go with talented young Alec Asher (1-0, 1.46 ERA), who has been strong in two starts since joining the team earlier this month. He blanked the Washington Nationals over six innings in his debut, then held Pittsburgh to two runs and four hits in 6+ innings on Tuesday. Philadelphia has won four of six despite being an underdog three times, and the Marlins are 19-40 at Philadelphia. Play Philadelphia.
