I've got an 11:20 tee time today so not sure I'll be back in time for the early start games, so I'm flying blind as far as line ups go.
Miami Marlins +120
Alcantara at home, and a dog is a gift I'll accept nearly every time. Over his career, he's nearly a full run better in Miami than on the road. Suarez has shown some unsteadiness, but his offense was hotter than hell for a stretch there, so they got away with it. This is an important series for both teams, so I'm assuming both line ups will have all bats necessary.

Ashcraft has been very very good as of late. He's given up 6 ER in his last 27 IP, and is missing lots of bats. The Buccos are 4-1 in his last 5 starts with only one of those games getting over this number. Ray has been very good for the Padres since coming over, but having some command issues. He should be able to pump the zone tonight without fear of anyone beating him up too bad. Large ballpark makes it hard for HRs, but opens up gaps for extra base hits, we need to pitchers to be very good tonight, but I think they can be.
Arizona Diamondbacks +126
Im a big fan of fading teams that had an offensive explosion the day before, and the Cubs put up 18 runs last night. Kelly hasn't been great for the Snakes, but neither has Gausmann for the baby bears. Both offenses have had their way with each starter so far this year as well. It's just a beat on regression from the Cubbies offense, and the Dbacks need a win to keep themselves within punching distance in the playoff race.
Philadelphia Phillies -112
A hell of a win last night for the Phightin Phils, getting 6 runs in the 9th of the Cards closer to win 6-4. They are as hot as anyone in baseball right now, and they have their guy Wheeler on the hill. If you've been following at all, you know how I feel about this Ms offense, and I don't think they can get a whole lot going tonight. Certainly not to hang with the Philly line up.
