Florida Marlins vs. Pittsburgh Pirates (MLB) - Apr 21, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Play: Money Line: -102 Florida Marlins Pick Title: Big Al's Complimentary Monday Winner.

At 7:05pm ET our complimentary selection is on the Florida Marlins over the Pittsburgh Pirates. This game will feature the two worst pitching staffs (according to team ERA) of the season so far in the NL. As of Saturday night, Pittsburgh was 15th in ERA at 5.26 runs. Not far ahead of them is Florida, with a team ERA or 5.09. Only one other team in the Majors has a team ERA above five runs (surprising it's the Tigers). But Florida's staff at least has a couple of pleasant surprises in the form of lefthanded starters Scott Olsen and Mark Hendrickson, slated to go to the mound tonight in this game at PNC Park. All Hendrickson has done this season is go 3-1 in his first three starts with an ERA of 3.97. He is one of the reasons that the Marlins have a very surprising winning record. And they have actually played very well on the road this year, losing only two games away from South Florida. My words cannot describe how horribly veteran righthander Matt Morris has pitched in '08. It's been like batting practice so far when he takes the mound as he has given up 26 hits in less than seventeen innings of work. Last year's strangest deadline trade (Morris from the Giants to the Pirates in exchange for Rajai Davis) is looking even stranger right now, as Morris (who's due to make an amazing $8.5 Million this year) has lost all three of his starts this season. Morris' teams have lost the four games he's started against Florida, going back to 2005 with the Cards.

Take the Marlins.

As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
