The Miami Marlins split four games with the Chicago Cubs in their first series of the season. Pretty impressive considering the Cubs are one of a handful of favorites to reach the World Series this year.

Tonight the Fish hand the ball to 24 year old Trevor Richards who will make his Major League debut. Richards has posted a 12-11 record with a 2.53 ERA in 27 games - 25 starts in the minor leagues and I think he'll give the Red Sox some trouble here.

Brian Johnson takes the ball for Boston for his seventh start in the big leagues. Last season, he went 2-0 with a 4.33 ERA, but I really feel the Marlins are underrated in this contest.

8* play on Miami Marlins +1.5.
