Dodgers vs Marlins
Bonus Play Miami Marlins
I'm backing the Miami Marlins on Friday. Jose Fernandez had a tough outing at Cleveland but he still is close to invincible at home with a 10-2 record and 1.91 ERA this year and Miami has won 31 of his last 36 home starts. Fernandez has faced Los Angeles once this season and gave up two runs in six innings at Dodger Stadium. In his two starts before the Cleveland loss, Fernandez pitched 13 shutout innings against the Royals and Mets while allowing only a total of nine hits. Clayton Kershaw comes off the disabled list to make his first start since June 26 and he'll probably be limited to five or six innings. Miami beat Kershaw in April when he allowed five runs and seven hits in seven innings. The Marlins have won 13 of their last 19 home games against left-handed starters. Fernandez as a home underdog is too good to pass up. I'm backing the underdog Marlins on Friday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
