LET'S GO FISH!
Hi baseball fans! Florida Marlins and Cincinnatti Reds will meet in the 3rd game of their series tonight while Reds are leading the series 2-0.
Cincinnatti Reds will give the ball to Homer Bailey in this contest while Marlins will have Christopher Volstad on the mound.
Reds are 5-3 so far this season. Cincinnatti Reds are 2-0 on the road, both of these victories were against Marlins. Reds won first game by 1 run, defeating Florida Marlins 6-5. Yesterday, Reds were victorious again, winning in extra innings (11th inning) 10-8.
In these first two games, Reds' starters were Bronson Arroyo and Johnny Cueto. Both Cueto and Arroyo have impressive numbers and there's a serious difference between Homer Bailey (today's starter) and Cueto&Arroyo.
Marlins have a really good chance to win tonight since Reds will give the ball to Homer Bailey. I'm sure many of you remember Homer Bailey from previous season. He's a horrible pitcher! His WHIP and ERA stats were awful last season. It may be another poor season for Bailey. Bailey's WHIP is 1.80 and his ERA is 5.40 so far this season. Reds are 4-12 in Baileys last 16 starts when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game and Reds are 0-5 in Baileys last 5 starts vs. National League East!
On the other side, Christopher Volstad is one of the best pitchers for Marlins, maybe the best one. His season WHIP is 0.95 so far this season. His numbers were impressive last season as well..
Marlins are 2-6 in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600 and Marlins are 7-0 in Volstads last 7 starts with 4 days of rest. In addition, Marlins are 5-2 in their last 7 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game.
The Florida Marlins are ranked 12 in hitting, with a batting average of .263. The Marlins are averaging 5.0 runs per game this season with an OPS of .720. On the other side, Cincinnati Reds are ranked 19 in hitting, with a batting average of .249. The Reds are averaging 4.8 runs per game this season with an OPS of .728.
Reds are 3-8 in Baileys' last 11 starts as a road underdog. In addition, Reds are 4-12 in Baileys last 16 starts when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. I'm expecting Marlins to score at least 5-6 runs today against poor Homer Bailey. His name is Homer for a reason, LoL! (Homerun=Homer)
You know motivation and concentration are key elements in baseball. Marlins lost first 2 games very close, they lost first game by 1 run and lost second game in extra innings. Since this is a 4-game series, Marlins still have a chance to split the series. Can't really see Marlins getting swept at home by Reds. I have respect for Cincinnatti but not on the road specially when they got Homer Bailey on the mound. I'm expecting Florida hitters to score 2-3 HR against Bailey in this contest.
Marlins were able to win the series (2-1) versus Dodgers and I don't think they will surrender easily at home. Marlins are 2-3 at home so far and I'm expecting Marlins to stay above .500 at home this season.
