Well, after a long absent, we are ready to get back into business! The internet is back in motion and the picks are ready to follow in a winning way. I left last week with a 9-4 record getting unlucky in a UFC pick and not giving the NY Yankees enough credit but still going 5-1 in my last 6 picks. Why not continue this mini streak with a win tonight?
Florida Marlins vs Philadelphia Phillies over 9.5 @ -120 (1.83).
In tonight's game, we have two mediocre pitchers heading to the mound. Florida's Chris Volstad with a shaddy 8-8 record 4.82 ERA and Phillies Joe Blanton with a 6-6 record 5.25 ERA both hurl tonight. Most of Florida hasn't seen much of Blanton but the few that have, have numbers with averages of .300 and even an average of .800. The Phillies batters have hit Volstad around like a ball wrapped around a tether pole. They have a collection of .300 batting averages against Volstad and in the past few games, the Phillies have begun hitting 10x better then they once were. In 5 of their last 6 games, the Phillies have hit the over in their game and I see them continuing the hitting trend. The Phillies are also in the middle of the NL East title hunt and will need a great performance from all their hitters as the pitchers may fold under the pressure. It doesn't matter who wins, but I see the Phillies smoking a lot of balls and see Florida doing the same for an over of 9.5.
