3-Unit Play Take #908 Florida Marlins -115 over Los Angeles Dodgers (6:10pm.)
If any is due to have the breaks even out, it is this Marlin team. The Dodgers send out Eric Milton who hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2007. He underwent elbow ligament replacement surgery. He had had seven starts in AAA. He faces Andrew Miller, who is one of the most promising prospects in MLB. He is coming off two solid rehab outings. Like the chances of the Marlin bullpen today a lot better than that of the Dodgers.
4-Unit Play Take Atlanta Braves -125 over Arizona Diamondbacks (7:10pm.)
Thinking that the Braves are feeling good about being above the .500 level. Once again the patience of Bobby Cox is paying dividends. The Braves have now won 7 of their last 9. Arizona has lost 7 of 9 since changing skippers. Kawakami has shown definite improvement over his past two starts, limiting the Mets and Phillies to two runs in each start. Max Scherzer remains winless in 22 games and 13 starts. In his last start he gave up three homeruns.
7-Unit Play Take the Cincinnati Reds -125 over San Diego Padres (10:05pm.)
After Friday’s loss snapped a four-game road winning streak, the Reds hope to resume their solid play away from home in the second game of a three-game series in San Diego. It is a big game for the Reds, as they face Jake Peavey tomorrow. Also, the last time the Reds lost a game they rebounded with a 13-5 thrashing of Arizona. Cincinnati has now won 10 of its last 14 road games. Meanwhile, the Padres are 5-19 in their last 24 and have lost 6 of their last 7. Doubt whether their closer, Heath Bell, is a go or would at least be effective tonight. Like Cincinnati as my National League Game Of The Year.
