Around SBN: Yu Darvish Diagnosed With Mariners Fever

Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Marlins at Nationals (9/3)

Happy Labor Day!  That is assuming you are in the U.S. or Canada, if not, Happy September 3!

The Marlins are in D.C. to play three against the Nationals.

The Marlins starting pitcher is Rick VandenHurk.

The Nationals have on tap Jason Bergmann.

Game time is 1:05 p.m.

VandenHurk is coming off two good starts in a row,  In his last start he struck out a career-high eight batters.  This will be his first start ever against the Nationals but don't expect him to go much past five innings.

Bergmann normally does his best work at home where he has posted both of his wins this season.  Also, he has coming off one of his best starts of the year.  However, he did have a start in Florida earlier this season and quite frankly, got shelled by the Fish.  The Marlins scored 8 runs before chasing him after 4.1 innings.  Bergmann is known to give up the long ball.

Ichthyomancy is ready for another day game.

Here's today's Ichthyomancy pick table:

Four players that were key to the Albuquerque Isotopes' dramatic pennant run will continue their seasons in the Major Leagues, as Reggie Abercrombie, Robert Andino, Brett Carroll, and Ross Wolf have been called up to the Florida Marlins and will join the big league team tomorrow.

Actually
While attendance is a more flexible pick, you can only change the pick within an hour of the first pitch.

Well...
You learn something every day.  Although I personally feel I cheat if I change it after the game starts, so I don't do either.
