FiveStarPick.com is hot on the totals in tonight’s Dolphin Stadium match-up between the Colorado Rockies and the Florida Marlins.  Since becoming a major league expansion team, the Marlins have always been one of the surprise teams in the National League.  Despite having no fan base and the smallest payroll in baseball ($22M), the Marlins are in a prime position to win their division and hopefully go deep into the playoffs with hot bats and a great pitching staff.  Having said that, the small payroll might get a bit bigger after tonight’s game.  Rumors are swirling out of control about the potential acquisition of slugger Manny Ramirez from Boston and the question remains can the Marlins stay focused as they open a 4-game series against the Colorado Rockies.  If Manny comes aboard he will make as much as the entire Marlin’s roster combined.

In a highly criticized Marlins off-season trade move, Dontrelle Willis and leading run producer Miguel Cabrera were sent packing to clear additional room on their payroll and it worked.  Willis was sent back to the minors and the Marlins starters have picked up the slack in run production.  The Marlins (57-51) front office is proud of the work they have done creating wins using no-name talent. 

Florida will start Anibal Sanchez (2-1, 4.80 ERA) tonight.  This will be Sanchez’s first start since recovering from shoulder surgery 3 months ago.  He lost to the Mets on May 2nd and he has never faced the sweet swinging bats of Colorado.

The Rockies (49-60) bats have been the catalyst in winning 10 of 13 games since the All-Star break and they will counter tonight with Jorge De La Rosa (5-5, 6.20) on the mound.  De La Rosa has won back-to-back starts for the first time this season and only gave up 1 run in Saturday’s outing against the Cincinnati Reds.  He’s 1-2 with an 8.64 ERA in four career games against the Marlins.

So that’s a lot of useless information I just gave you…or is it?  Does the ‘run total’ go over or under in tonight’s match-up.  FiveStarPick.com has the answer, but nothing is free in this world.  If it was, it wouldn’t be worth anything.  We are the most accurate sports handicapping service on the net and one of the only services that allows non-members to monitor our daily plays on the home page.  Betting on baseball can be difficult, but if you follow our daily plays to the letter, your bookie will pay…and pay dearly.  Join today and start your winning streak tonight.

FiveStarPick.com is hot on the Money Line in tonight’s match-up between the Phillies and Nationals.  The Phillies have been looking sluggish in their last few outings and were barely able to beat the crappy Washington Nationals last night.  Philadelphia is trying for their 4th straight victory but will have to beat Nationals hurler Tim Redding to do it.  Even though Redding has been getting rocked by Utley this year, he’s dominated the Phillies all season long.  Believe it or not, Redding has only allowed eight hits in 13 1/3 scoreless innings and has come up victorious in both of his outings against Philly.  Redding is 4-2 with a 2.34 ERA in nine career starts versus Philadelphia, but takes the mound after a hard 1-0 loss in his last outing against the San Francisco Giants.

Philadelphia will be starting Jamie Moyer (9-6, 3.76), a man trying for his third straight winning decision. Moyer, a south-paw, has allowed a run and two hits in seven innings, but earned a no-decision in Philadelphia’s 3-1 road loss to the Mets Thursday night.  Moyer is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in his last three starts and is 9-4 with a 2.95 ERA in 19 starts versus the Nationals.

Vegas has listed the Brewers as a -120 home ‘chaulk’ over Chicago with the ‘run total’ listed at 7.5.  After Thursday’s victory over the Marlins as a -210 home favorite, the Cubbies Carlos Zambrano (11-4, 2.96 ERA) looks forward to being the starter against the Brewers’ All-Star starter Ben Sheets.  The 27 year old Zambrano has two (2) no decisions against the Brewers in 2008 and has allowed just 1 run on 10 hits with three walks and eight strikeouts. The Cubs lost both games as home favorites.
 
Milwaukee is excited about starting their ace, Ben Sheets (10-3, 2.87 ERA). Ben had a no-decision in his last outing against St. Louis last Thursday.  The right-hander gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts.  The Brewers eventually held off the Cardinals and won as a -120 home favorite and the ‘under 8′ cashed in for totals bettors.  The ‘over’ has cashed his previous three outings.

Betting on baseball is not easy, so let FiveStarPick.com take some of the pressure off this baseball season.

The Yankees have been on a tear since the All-Star break and they are well on their way to making another run towards their 14th playoff appearance.  The Yankees are trying to capture their 11th straight win when they face the last place Orioles tonight at 7:05 PM EST.  The Yankees (58-46) started off the season in a slump dropping 2 of 3 to the Orioles May 26-28 and believe it or not were in the cellar in the AL East.

Mike Mussina (13-6, 3.26 ERA) will get the start in tonight’s game. The Mussina of late has only allowed one run in 14 innings and has an ERA just above 1.

Baltimore start a 9 game road trip tonight and is sitting 12 games out of first place.  Jeremy Guthrie (6-8, 3.58 ERA) will start for Baltimore.  The Yankees pounded Guthrie on May 28th for three runs and six hits in seven innings of work in a losing battle.
