Ricky Nolasco has been the Marlins best pitcher this season. Not only has he pitched well but it has translated into wins. Rick is 8-4 on the season. He has thrown 95.2 innings and allowed just a hit per inning (96 hits to be exact). Ricky has been even better recently. Ricky is 2-0 in his last three starts. The Marlins are undefeated in those three starts as well.

Ricky has actually been dominant in his last four starts. Against Philadelphia he threw six innings and allowed no runs. Against Tampa he threw over 8 innings and struck out 12 batters. Two starts ago he threw seven innings and allowed just three runs while walking one batter. His last start was arguably his best. Eight innings, six hits, one earned run, nine strikeouts, one walk.

Ricky hasn’t lost since June 6, and only lost two times since April. I am all over the FISH this afternoon as an easy bankroll builder.

Just can’t see the Yankees getting swept here tonight at the Bronx. The reason this line is so low is due to the fact the Yankees have lost the first two games of this set. The Yankees offense has been in a funk. We all know they are better than this though. They have an offense that still averages over 4.60 runs per game, they still hit .270 as a team and they still hit the long ball. They just haven’t been consistent. You better believe that Joe Girardi is going to go after these guys today and Ponson is pitching for his job and will throw his magic again. Ponson came up big against the Mets in the last start, he will do enough to get the win tonight, mark it down as another winner.
