Phillies (-1.5) vs. Marlins (-110) "I will gladly back the Phillies on the run line at home yet again with Cristopher Sanchez on the hill," SportsLine expert Eric Cohen said. "The lanky left-hander is 10-1 at home this season with a shiny 1.41 ERA. Philadelphia has won each of Sanchez's last five home starts by multiple runs, with a run differential of +34. Marlins hitters are a combined 9-for-53 (.170 average), so I wouldn't expect much from them offensively. Look for the Phillies to raise Janson Junk's 5.35 road ERA and win this one by daylight on Monday night."
