FLORIDA MARLINS -135 - Florida's Josh Beckett has one of the best arms in the National League, and he can be downright nasty when he has his control. In his last start against the Mets, he allowed only 2 runs and 3 hits with 8 strikeouts in 6 innings, recording his 3rd Quality Start in his last 4 starts overall. One of the knocks against Beckett last year was a lack of stamina, but he has now gone at least 6 innings in 3 of his last 4 starts, as he has cut down on his pitch counts as his control has improved. On the flip side, Simontacchi has regressed badly following his promising rookie year last year, as he has a horrible 11.25 ERA and an inflated ratio of 2.42 in 3 starts, lasting only a total of 12 innings in those 3 outings.
