Saturday's play is on West!

Now standing at 3-1-1 for the week.

The Marlins start rookie 6 foot 8 inch left handed pitcher, Sean West. If he can keep his walks down, he is almost un-hitable. For the year he is 3-3 with a 4.47 ERA and a .230 batting average against. On the road he is 1-1 with a 4.82 ERA. but his road batting average against is only .182. For the month of July his ERA is 7.50, but yet his batting average against is only .200. That tells me he has gotten victimized by a few untimely hits. What helps us here is the fact that the Diamondbacks stink against lefties, batting only .230 against them and averaging only 3.6 runs against.

Meanwhile the Diamondbacks start Jon Garland. He is 4-8 on the year with a 4.80 ERA and a .293 batting average against. For the month of July his batting average against is .292. At home this year he is 2-4 with a 7.15 ERA and a .330 batting average against. Over his last 3 starts, he allowed 27 men on base in 18.1 innings. He is 1-0 against Florida this year with a 1.50 ERA, but with a .304 batting average against. The Marlins will get to him tonight.

Today's value play is the Florida Marlins (+108)
