Wednesday's 4* MLB POD - Under Dog Play

[Pick Bot]

Marlins +107 4* MLB POD
This is a veteran battle with Dan Haren taking on Jon Lester. Both starters have essentially the same ERA on the year, but Haren will start at home and has a far better WHIP. Lester will also face the Marlins a top 10 offense vs. LHP and he's struggled vs. some of their veteran hitters in 87 AB vs. Lester the Marlins have a .391 average and 1.004 OPS. Lester is however on 5+ days rest, but he seems to have his worst outings in that situation and it's hard to see him getting to up for a game in Miami at this point in his career.

Haren on the other hand faces a struggling Cubs offense that is scoring just 2.74 runs per 9 over their last 5 and he has held these hitters in check. IN 73 AB they have a .219 average and a .571 OPS. I'm expecting Miami to be able to steal this game from the road team and getting them as an under dog to me is a steal.
