MARLINS/EXPOS Under 8.5 -105 - This is a pitching rematch from last Wednesday, when Ohka and the Expos defeated Pavano and the Marlins 4-2 in extra innings. I cashed a ticket on the Under in that game and am coming back with it again tonight. Ohka has quietly put together a solid season, going 13-8 with a 3.18 ERA and a very good WHIP of 1.24. He was brilliant vs. Florida last week, holding them scoreless on just 6 hits in 8 innings before the bullpen gave up 2 runs in the ninth inning, forcing the extra frames. This marked the second time in his last 3 starts vs. the Marlins that he has held them scoreless while pitching at least 6 innings. Pavano has been a new man since moving into the Florida starting rotation. He is now sporting a nifty 3.40 ERA on the year, with the Marlins going 4-2 in his 6 starts. He pitched good enough to win that game vs. Montreal last week, allowing only 1 earned run and 6 hits in 6 innings.
