A
couple of things about this game that warrant a play on Florida. First
of all, Marlins have seen Delgado 6 days ago so the 'unfamiliarity'
factor is gone. They kid has averaged 5.0 innings per start in his 5
MLB starts and I don't expect him going past 5 innings today. This
brings us to "second of all", which is the fact that Atlanta's bullpen
has been pretty used up lately. Kimbrel has appeared in 3 straight (44
pitches), O'Flaherty in 2 straight (26 pitches) and Venters in 2
straight (34 pitches). Atlanta's BP won't be as strong today which is
another benefit for Florida. Finally, Sanchez has been very solid
lately allowing 2 ER's and 11 hits in his last 3 starts, spanning 21
innings. He has 23 K's and only 7 BB's in that span. I expect him to
have another solid outing against an Atlanta offense which scored more
than 3 runs only 3 out of the last 9 games.
#2: Milwaukee Brewers -142
I
know Marcum is coming off 2 poor outings, but that was against Philly
and Colorado, both teams with some solid left-handed bats in their
lineups. Cubs are a righty-dominated lineup. Why is this important?
Well, Marcum has a 4.14 xFIP and 2.07 K/BB against left-handers this
year. He is much more lethal against righties with a 3.64 xFIP and 3.63
K/BB. That's a big difference. Top-3 bullpen, top-7 offense, top-9
defense, and a much better pitcher on the mound here for the Brewers. I
know Randy Wells has been pretty solid prior to his last start, but he
tends to struggle against Milwaukee: 26 hits / 12 ER's/ 9K/s to 5 BB's/
in his last 16 innings of work (3 starts).
Potential play #3 pending. Waiting on lineups. Good luck!

Yeah, was down in NOLA from Fri through yesterday. Great city. I ate at a bunch of restaurants but can't even remember their names now...The game was great. Saints fans are very loud and passionate. My Bears lost of course, but overall it was a fun time.
My one concern with Phillies is that Detwiler is a lefty and Phillies are 8th worst against left-handers this year. Easy pass for me
