Florida is coming off a really embarassing loss to this same team on Monday. What looked like a possible rain out ended up being a blow out with an overcast sky. Florida's bats were silenced and they got smashed in there 2nd loss of the season. Pittsburgh used there free winner of the series and the bats will be silenced by very good pitcher from FLA Sanchez. Sanchez looks like he is finally back from arm troubles and today will shut down PIT. FLA bats had been hot all year and today will get hot again and win going away. Run line is play in this game!! +130 what a value play on best record in the league. SCORE FLA 6 - PIT 1
