Kyle Gibson and the Philadelphia Phillies play host to Edward Cabrera and the Miami Marlins on Thursday afternoon. Gibson has been solid this season. He does not necessarily jump off of the Baseball Savant stats page, but he mitigates the damage by allowing weaker contact than average, which will play to his advantage against the Marlins' depleted lineup. Cabrera has been solid, but his sample size is a bit too small to draw sizable conclusions, just yet. He has a 3.83 xERA in four appearances with a 2.61 ERA, so he does have luck on his side. That said, 3.83 is solid, although he has walked at least two in every start.

Even with the Phillies posting a 107 wRC+, it is hard to choose their moneyline or total in this matchup. However, the Marlins are missing some key pieces. Going under their team total is the smartest play in this game.
