Leaning towards the over 8.5 (-105). The season is over for both teams and now these games between non-playoff teams are for statisitical purposes. Both Nolasco and Harang may be a bit tired after pitching very well in late august and september so far. Nolasco has pitched very well in his last ten starts (pitched at least 6 innings and allowed 3 or fewer runs in each of those games). Harang has 6 staight quality starts where he has gone at least 6 innnings allowing 3 or fewer runs. Both are prbably tired and may take a beating in this game. The marlins have hit Harrang hard this season (18 hits, 12 runs, 5 hr, 1 walks in 12.1 innings). Nolasco does not have good numbers vs the reds (in 2 career starts, 0-1 record,15 hits, 11 runs, 7 walks in only 11.2 innings for a 6.94 era). Marlins are going to break out of their scoring drought (scored just 2 runs in each of their last 2 games).
Marlins -110
Nolasco is on a terror of late. Nolasco will give another quality start for the marlins who will rough up Harang as they have done in the past. I think the marlins are going to try harder on offense to win a game for Norasco who can improve to 16-7 on the season with a victory. Florida will try to finish the season with the best possible record and be more motivated in winning this game. The reds are going to have another losing season while the marlins will finish over .500 for the season with just one more win.
Marlins team total over 4 runs (-120)
Marlins -1.5 alternate runline (+160)
Any thoughts on taking the marlins and the over.
