Ben Burns "Blue Chip" Total

UNDER 9 RUNS,FLORIDA MARLINS (West)-vs- San Diego Padres (Latos)

Reason: I'm playing on Florida and San Diego to finish UNDER the total. The first two games of this series have both produced double-digits in combined runs. I expect a lower-final score in this afternoon's finale. Both starters will have the advantage of starting against today's opponent for the first time and both were exceptional last time out. West allowed one run through six innings. He earned the "W" in a 2-1 Florida victory. That gives him a 2.81 ERA his last three starts and marks his second straight start which stayed below the total. Meanwhile, Latos tossed seven shutout innings in his last start, a game which also stayed below the total, also with a final score of 2-1. For the season, Latos has seen six of his eight starts stay below the total. That includes a 3-1 UNDER record in his four road starts. With the Padres averaging less than four runs per game vs. southpaws and also when playing during the afternoon, I expect a relatively low-scoring affair. *8 Blue Chip
