Going fishin' for a W in Miami!

Las Vegas - Tough night for this guy on the NBA playoff board. This guy, your guy, NEVER bets on or against any of the New York teams, and there is no way I'm laying 13.5 points with the Spurs. So it's off to South Beach to check on a matchup between the Marlins and the Phillies. Miami sends Janson Junk to the hill and one thing he doesn't do, is throw junk. His fastball is creeping into the mid-90s and his last two starts have been nothing but bagels (11 innings, zero earned runs). The other arm, Aaron Nola, has been struggling. After a couple of solid years in 2023 (12-9) and 2024 (14-8), Nola has fallen into a deep black hole. He was 5-10 with a 6.01 ERA last season and is just 1-3 this season with a fat 6.03 ERA. Going fishin' and expecting to hook a W in Miami.
