Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Marlins at Braves (4/13)

by craig on Apr 14, 2007 7:59 AM EDT in News and Rumors

Welcome to the Friday the 13th edition of the open thread and Ichthyomancy.

The Marlins are in Atlanta to take on the Brave and tonight features two former teammates going head to head.

The starting pitcher for the Marlins is Dontrelle Willis.

The Braves will send, former Marlin, Mark Redman to the mound.

Game time is 7:35 p.m.

Good news for everyone who is out of market and forced to watch the games on a computer screen - every game in this series will be on TBS. Yea!!

Hopefully, Skip Caray will be announcing some of the games, if not all of them.

Willis has a lifetime record of 2-1 in Turner Field. And if it wasn't for a unfortunate home run hit in the late innings he would be 3-0. That was back in the days when the bullpen couldn't be trusted.

Redman has never faced his former team. Any knowledge he had about the Marlins hitters is long gone. This is almost entirely a different lineup of Fish.

Ichthyomancy is ready, willing and able. Since the game is 30 minutes later than our normal home game, you don't have to feel rushed. But be sure make your picks on time.

And if you haven't joined in the fun of Ichthyomancy, today is the perfect day to start.

Here's today's Ichthyomancy pick table:
