This is an 8* SITUATIONAL MISMATCH on the MARLINS RUNLINE.

I had a play on the Marlins on the runline in their 5-1 outright win here over the Astros, and while I do feel that they have a legitimate shot at winning tonight's contest as well, in the end my official call will be to grab the 1.5 runs of insurance for what I feel to be a very good price.

Clearly, Christian Javier (8-2, 4.36 ERA) has the advantage here on paper over counterpart Johnny Cueto (0-3, 5.33), but I believe that the momentum that the Fish are currently riding is very real.

Note as well that Cueto is 5-6 with a highly-repsectable 3.14 ERA in 15 career starts vs. the Astros.

In a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extras, I'm grabbing MIAMI on the RUNLINE option.

Good luck, NP
