Pick of the Day August 20: Houston (53-68) at Florida (61-60)

Pick: Florida -130
why?
In the last 10 meetings in Florida, the Marlins won 9 of them. Also they are on a 4 game winning streak. Chris Volstad hasn't been having the best season so far but he's in luck as the offense-less Astros are in town. If anything goes wrong, the Marlins bullpen has his back supporting a 1.93ERA in the past 10 games. As long as the Marlins can hit left handed pitching, this game is a wrap. May I remind you that the Marlins are batting .325 against left handed pitchers in the past 10 games. Yes, this game is a wrap.

When the Astros traded away their biggest power hitter in Lance Berkman they were a new team. They were actually winning games. However as fate would have it, they came back down to normal. By normal I mean one of the worst offensive teams in the majors. The Astros bullpen has been atrocious the whole season! After getting spanked 9-0 the Astros will expect a similar score as the Marlins love left handing pitching. Sadly enough for the Astros, they don't have the bullpen to back him up.

Unfortunately last night one of my picks turned out incorrect. This winner will look to change that. Thanks for the support and continue reading this blog for more winners than any other site. My proven record will never let you down.

Record: 4-1 

The only other blog out there that has a great winning record and actual proof of it.
