This Alex Sanabia kid has looked very solid so far in his short stint in the bigs and the Marlins are a decent enough team so I'll back the fish in a small play. No Sanabia isn't going deep into games and probably won't here as well but the guy has yet to allow more than a single run in any outing and it's not like the Giants offense is a big bad juggernaut.
Jonathan Sanchez certainly is a tough lefty that can dazzle at times. He had that no-hitter last season and has been very good this season with that 7-6 record and 3.35 ERA. I don't have many negative things to say about Sanchez but the Marlins have very competent righthanded hitters led by Ramirez, Uggla and Cantu and to get a chunk of change back is well worth it as Sanchez is not upper eschelon just yet.
When playing baseball one needs to find a winnable game at a price that's right. Obviously there isn't any point spread, unless you're doing the run-line, so if you can isolate a pretty even game and get back a quality price then it's a value. I wholeheartedly believe that these visitors from South Beach have a great shot to win this game and will take care of business more times than the oddsmaker seems to believe.
San Francisco has played some great ball over the past month and is a team that has a legitimate shot to play some postseason baseball. But neither Lincecum nor Cain are on the mound today and the Marlins have been great themselves over the past few weeks making me just fine with backing this capable enough pup in a definite winnable spot.
The pick: Florida +130 at SportsBook
For more information: If not for one bad Cubs inning it would have been another 3-0 sweep. But 2-1 will suffice as the Red Sox plus 140 and the Dodgers at even money took care of business. It's now about a billion straight winning days for a billion* of profit. Seriously, it's a golden golden run and three more winners today.
