FLORIDA MARLINS
60-60 W/L, 31-30 Road, 6-4 L10, W3 Streak
The Marlins are in fine form here. They notched up their 3rd straight win yesterday, giving them a 60-60 record to date. They send Sanchez to the mound today to move further ahead.
Sanchez has a 2.97 ERA in 11 home starts this season for the Marlins and is 2-0 with a 0.96 ERA in 3 career starts against Houston. He was also instrumental in helping the Marlins to a 5-1 win over the Astros earlier this season.
Florida are now 6-1 in the last 7 games against the Astros played in Florida.
HOUSTON ASTROS
53-67 W/L, 32-33 Home, 6-4 Last 10, W1 Streak
Happ has a horrendous 10.50 ERA and 2.833 WHIP in his last 2 road games. Behind him, there is a bullpen that can't save a game, with an ERA of 5.38 and 1.673 WHIP in road games.
Being a southpaw pitcher isn't going to help Happ tonight either. Taking into account Florida's win last night, the Marlins are now 7-1 the last 8 times that they faced a leftie, including 5-0 in their last 5.
BETTING VERDICT
Short and sweet today as I'm in a mad rush. Take Florida.
The Pick :
Marlins to win!
BEST BETTING TIP :
Take the Florida Marlins @ 1.60 (Pinnacle) - MAIN BET
