= *YTD* @ +226.80 unit$Well, big day yesterday, and I'm happy to say that I did not sweep the card. We all know, when I do sweep a card, the next day is a debacle. Went 7-1-1 yesterday collecting +14.25 unit$ overall. We only have 3 days of the regular season left, and that brings me to this...
Today will be *LPOY* - Largest Play of Year as of today, Mon. 10/1
My previous *LPOY* was back on Thurs. 8/9 backing RA Dickey and the Mets for [9U] and it hit. Before that, it was Angels & Dan Haren (yes, Dan Haren) for [8U] back in July. And today, it's backing Josh Johnson in my favorite Situational Play... backing Josh Johnson after a home loss.

Marlins -1 @ -120 = [10U]
GiLz Largest Play of Year: (Mon. 10/1)
Marlins -1 @ -120 = [10U]> Josh Johnson has started 76 games @ home in his career. Only once has he lost back-to-back home starts in those 76 games. Since 2008, he has not lost back-to-back home starts. In those 76 games JJ has started @ home, only 4 times have the Marlins as a team lost back-to-back games; meaning the next start JJ made after a home loss, he got a No Decision as the Marlins lost the game. Since 2008, the Marlins have lost back-to-back games started by JJ twice. One of those times was this year, back on Sept. 1st - JJ pitched a gem going 8 innings and allowing only 1ER and the Marlins took a 3-1 lead into the top of the 9th only to give up 4 and lose the game 5-3 to the Mets... the same team he faces today.
Now, placing an *LPOY* play on the Marlins can be many things... foolish, crazy, bizarre, weird, making no sense what so ever. These Marlins have not hit well this entire 2nd half. And maybe you're thinking that since they've won in support of many ball games after Josh Johnson lost a home start that they'd back him up with great run support... well, that's wrong. This year, the Marlins are averaging 4.3 runs per game in this situation. Not so great at all...
Now, maybe a play on the UNDER instead of siding with the Marlins? Well, sounds a bit tempting, but when you pair the Mets' bullpen, with the Marlins' bullpen, the UNDER is out the window. Maybe a 1st 5 innings play? If you'd like, sure. But not me...
I am going to roll in full force of full support of backing the fact that Josh Johnson has not lost back-to-back home games since 2008 in which he's started 59 games in that span.

Best of Luck today, Thread'ers.
