Let's discuss 1st game of ARI/FLA

who do you guys like?? and why?

I am leaning towards Ari @ + 121..... just gut feeling

i guess no one really care about this game

Davis held Atlanta to three runs -- two earned -- on four hits over six innings on Friday night.

Don't be lured in by Davis' 3.22 ERA. He's given up nine homers in 50.1 innings and he's been very lucky to have only surrendered 43 hits in 50.1 innings.

Volstad fell to 2-3 after allowing four runs on seven hits over six innings against the Dodgers on Friday night.

He struck out three and did not walk a batter, but he surrendered a pair of homers and the Florida offense fell just short against the Dodgers' bullpen.

Volstad has cooled off a bit since his outstanding start to the season, but he's had excellent command with just five free passes issued over the last 32 innings.

wow.... overwhelming informations BadCo.... I think Arizona will have some win streak.... and don't like FL's BP stat at all

On a future note I was watching the Marlins game last night and they were talking about how the Dbacks will fly from south Fla to Oakland and will be staying in S.F. and will be crossing the Bay Bridge at 8 to 9 oclock in the morning during commute traffic to check into their hotel.


Sounds like a night of hell to me.

I've always found that has more effect in the second game of the series.

thanks for all your input!!

Gotta go with FLA -133 here

I like the no score in the 1st inning of this game.

are they going to play, its raining hard in west palm

should be fine by the game time according to weather.com

I'm on the under 8.5, but I can't remember the last time I won a day game bet.
