EXPOS/MARLINS Under 8.5 ?115 - This looks like an unexpectedly great pitching matchup! Redman was supposed to bolster the Marlins staff this year, but I don?t think that anyone expected him to be THIS good. Granted, he has an 8.31 ERA in his last 3 starts, but those numbers are skewed by one particularly bad start in Colorado, which is certainly forgivable. Redman has done his best pitching here at home, where he has a brilliant 2.98 ERA and 1.13 ratio, limiting opposing batters to a .232 batting average. Most impressively, Redman has not allowed more than 4 earned runs in ANY of his 12 home starts! Not to be outdone, Day has been equally impressive on the road, where he has a remarkable 2.64 ERA in 8 starts, covering 47.2 innings. The Phillies hit him hard at home in his last start, but that snapped a streak of 5 consecutive starts where Day allowed 2 runs or less! Finally, the Under is now 7-1 in this year?s head-to-head meetings between these clubs here in Florida.
