BIG AL McMORDIE
MLB ROADKILL WINNER (7-1 RUN; 114-77 This Year).
Game Date/Time: 5/31/10 1:10 pm
Our Selection: Marlins Opponent: Brewers Line: -127
Analysis: At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Florida Marlins over the Milwaukee Brewers. Nate Robertson came over to the Marlins from the Tigers when the latter decided right before the start of the season that they apparently had enough lefties in their rotation and could spare the 32-year-old southpaw. So far it's been Detroit's loss and Florida's gain. It's not like Robertson is going to challenge Josh Johnson or Ricky Nolasco at the top of the rotation, but as a #4 or 5 guy, he's more than adequate. After his first 10 starts, Robertson has a solid 4.05 ERA, his best such mark since he won 13 games with the Tigers in 2006. Robertson is having a strong month of May, having held his opponents to two or fewer runs in all of his starts except for one, and his last start at home against Atlanta might have been his best of the season so far. Milwaukee will start lefthander Chris Narveson and Narveson has not been performing well lately, going 1-2 with a 6.32 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in his last three starts. The Marlins have won six of the last seven games between these two played in south Florida. MLB Roadkill on the Marlins.
