MLB | Apr 04 '14, 7:10 PM San Diego Padres vs Miami Marlins Miami looked great in their opening series against Colorado winning 3 of 4 tilts. Meanwhile their visiting opponents the SD Padres are still finding it hard to score runs, get 6 in total, and losing 2 of the 3 to the Dodgers in their first series of the season! Todays starting pitchers Padres LH Eric Stults (2013: 11-13, 3.93 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Tom Koehler (2013: 5-10, 4.41). Koehler looked very good in spring training recording a stingy 1.50 ERA in 18 plus innings of work. He finished last year, with a 3.14 ERA in 5 September starts, so he is trending upward, and deserves some action in this spot, vs a light hitting San Diego team , that is just 10-21 L/31 on the road vs a right handed starter. It must also be noted Stults the Padres starting hurler, did not fair well in his starts against Miami in 2013, walking four in 10 just innings of sub par work while allowing seven runs (six earned ) on 14 hits. (Padres are 1-5 in his L/6 road starts vs an above .500 side) Marlins are 6-0 in their last 6 games as an underdog. Marlins to win on the moneyline ( 1/2 unit comp) |
