SportsCapper Bonus Play for Thursday, August 18 – Florida Marlins
Take Florida over San Diego tonight.
Leading the NL West is like bringing a knife to gun fight... doesn't mean much. Although the Padres start the Major League strike out leader in Jake Peavy (10-5 3.14 ERA), the Marlins counter with one of their aces in Josh Becket (11-6 3.31 ERA). In what could turn out to be a classic pitcher's duel, the Marlins look to remain hot, awakened from their offensive slumber by yesterday 6-0 victory.
The Marlins desperately needing every win they can get to stay afloat in the NL wildcard race will ride Beckett, and hope that Carlos Delgado and the Marlins bats will do just enough against Peavy to get the win. Still not convinced? Let's look at a little history... the Marlins have won 9 out of the last 11 against the San Diego at home.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
