This is an 8* on MIAMI

Miami might be in last place in the National League East, but they are the only team in the division with a positive run differential. They’ll look to make it two in a row over Arizona tonight. The Diamondbacks have been a little more competitive than expected through 29 games, but are still a real long-shot to compete in the NL West where you’ve got three strong teams. A six-run eighth proved to be the difference for the Marlins last night in a 9-3 win. They shouldn’t need nearly that many runs today as Pablo Lopez gets the start. Lopez might still be in search of his first win, but he’s pitched remarkably well in five of his six outings. The exception was when he allowed six runs against Atlanta on April 13th. Other than that, he has never given up more than two runs in any start. Three times, he has given up zero earned runs. Yet, Miami has actually lost all three of those games! Look for Lopez to get the elusive win Wednesday as Arizona starter Weaver is not in Lopez’s class. Weaver’s last three starts have produced a 7.62 ERA and 2.08 WHIP. He is just 2-11 since the beginning of last season. Play on MIAMI
