The Marlins are not only going for the series win today, but also a winning road trip. If this game stays true to form of the other two in this series, it should be an entertaining game to watch.

This should be interesting with Miller taking the hill against the A's. Even on Miller's best day he is still kinda all over the place. The A's have shown they know how to work at bats into a favorable count. Miller's last two starts were outstanding allowing only 1 run in each and going 7 innings in both. Andrew is probably the only Marlins starter who does better in day games than in night.

Duchscherer was equally outstanding in his last two starts. Giving up only 1 run in each and going 7 and 8 innings respectively. He doesn't do as well in day games this year posting a crappy, by his standards, 3.86 ERA. Duchscherer has never faced the Marlins.

Alfredo will be given the day off to help him recover from his groin tightness.

Ichthyomancy is ready for the usual Sunday day game. Best of Luck to You!
