Happy Memorial Day Everyone!
Monday Bases
Miami Marlins + 120 ~ The Miami Marlins have finally stopped the rot and have won back-to-back games having dropped 8 straight before Saturday. They visit Pittsburgh Monday and send righty David Phelps to the mound. Phelps has gone 2-1 in 7 starts in 2015 and has pitched superbly on the road. He is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 4 starts away from Marlins Park whilst holding opposing line-ups to a stingy 0.193 BA. Charlie Morton gets the nod for the Pirates who will be making his season debut on Monday; the righty has 3 rehab starts under his belt and will be facing a motivated Marlins team. Momentum is huge in baseball and the Marlins defiantly have a sense of renewed confidence having won their last 2 games under new manager Dan Jennings and I like the value on the road team in this one.
