Yes I know the Marlins are only 3-10 on the road, but they beat the Padres last night, and with Fernandez getting the start today, I think it's going to be VERY difficult for the Padres to break out of their offensive slump.
Fernandez already beat the Padres once this season, and they are collectively batting .128 against him in 39 at bats. Away from home he is just 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA, but I can't convince myself that today is the day that the Padres bats' wake up..
Tyson Ross hasn't been all that bad either, with a 2-1 record at Petco Park and a 1.67 ERA this season at home. His struggles have come away from home (1-2, 5.94) but at night (2-3, 4.25) he hasn't been too great either. Since 2011, he's only faced the Marlins once, he didn't even pitch a full inning, and got tagged with a 108.00 ERA.. Yea you read that right.. In 6 at bats, the Marlins are tagging him with a .333 BA.
So regardless of Miami's struggles, they are on a good streak right now, and with Fernandez taking the mound, -123 is some good value. I may even get adventurous and take the RL depending on how my picks go earlier in the day.
