Marlins Will Cool Dodgers
As hot as they have been, 17 wins in their last 18 games, look for the Dodgers to have a tough go this afternoon against Josh Johnson and the Marlins.
By: Ross Benjamin
The lines makers are giving us the winner in this game. The Dodgers are a red-hot 17-1 in their last 18 games and are at home versus a below .500 team yet look where the line is set.
Florida starter Josh Johnson is an unheralded rookie who has had a tremendous season. In 11 road starts Johnson has posted a 2.32 ERA. In six starts during the day Johnson improves to a sparkling 1.69 ERA. The Marlins will finally be in a position to provide some run support for the pitching staff with Mark Hendrickson going for the Dodgers.
Although Hendrickson has pitched respectably since the trade to the Dodgers, he still struggles with his control. I like the pitching advantage for the Marlins here. Florida has been a very resilient team all season and this will be another one of those cases.
Play: Florida -110.
