The Marlins have become the Phillies arch enemy in recent times, winning 12 of 19 in 2004 (+$445) and taking 2 out of 3 when they met at Pro Player Park earlier this month. Since them the Phillies haven?t played particularly well, and their pitching staff looks like a real cause for concern (5.34 team ERA, 2nd worst in the NL). The Marlins have been just the opposite (2.27 team ERA, best in baseball, with a respectable .272 team BA), and they?ll probably have Josh Beckett (+$140, 1.00 ERA) and Dontrelle Willis (+$400, 1.50), two of the league?s hottest pitchers on the hill this weekend. They?ll be an excellent value as visitors. BEST BET: Beckett/Willis.
