Give me your thoughts on the Florida/Pitt game

I'm really liking Fl TT over 4.5. I'm not sure about the total, pitching will be bad in this game but you never know what will happen with Pitt's bats.

What does everyone think?

florida swinging that stick and its hard to bet against them.
That first 5 innings with florida at +110 and the over at +105 looks very tempting

Pittsburgh is a disgrace, Florida or nothing.

Agreed that Pittsburgh not playing well, and Marlins are hot, but this is a good example on the public looking too much at teams and not enough at the pitchers and the individual matchups. Maholm has been better than Nolasco this season, and the fish are hitting under .200 against lefties.

Marlins look very tempting getting + money, but think the Pirates break through tonight.

but will pitt give up 5 runs?
still really liking this florida tt over 4.5. Nolasco might very well lose florida this game, but i still see the fish putting up some offense as well.

I'm on Pittsburgh. Maholm has consistently pitched much better at home than he has on the road. Last year his era was a full 2 runs lower at home. In his only start at home this year, he didn't give up a run. Also, while Florida has been playing good, they have struggled against lefties hitting only .200, compared to .292 against righties.

On the other side, Nabalsco has shown me nothing in his 2 starts.

Pitt -118 is my play.
