L.A Dodgers@ Florida Marlins (V.Padilla vs. J.Johnson)
Seems like the perfect scenario to take Florida. Kuroda shut down the Marlins bats yesterday and the Dodgers cakewalked (I expected). Marlins send their ace Josh Johnson out vs. Dodger vet Vincente Padilla, I expect the former to go deep into the game and pick up the win. Florida can hit, plain and simple and they will have the security of good starting pitching today. It is crucial that the Marlins win the games that Johnson and Nolasco start. The rest of the rotation is suspect to say the least, and in the #3,4,5 spots the Marlins will probably have to rely heavily on outstanding hitting to pull of W's.
Florida Marlins (-150)
Seattle Mariners@Texas Rangers (F.Hernandez vs. M.Harrison)
Seattle has been on a losing streak since the Oakland series and in the wrong circumstances, it would get no easier in Texas. However, today presents good circumstances for the Mariners. The dominance shifts from strong pitching (Oakland) to a hitters park and the bats to back it (Texas) as opposition to the Mariners. Seattle sends out Felix Hernandez, dubbed "King Felix" to handle the Texas lineup. He has an excellent pitching history in Arlington, TX-incredible numbers against the Rangers bats in general. The hype with Felix speaks for itself and more often than not, as observers we know what to expect from him. Matt Harrison has decent #s against the Mariners and you can probably expect a good performance out of him also-although generally he is not very good. If the Mariners are looking to snap a losing streak, or at least until Cliff Lee returns-Felix is the starter to trust.
Seattle Mariners (-150)
