The Marlins are looking to continue their winning ways in Chavez Ravine tonight.
Johnson will take the hill for the Marlins for the first time in over a year. From what I've read he will be on a strict pitch count of 100 pitches. Meaning if they pull him during the middle of facing a batter, you will know why. Don't read too much into his first start back since it may take a few to adjust the majors again. Though it is nice he will making his first start in a pitcher's ballpark.
Park will start once again in place of Brad Penny and he has yet to lose a start at home. In fact, he has a miniscule 0.62 ERA in games started at Dodger Stadium. Given his history, that can't last. Should he not be able to paint the corners he can be hit and hard at that. If he is painting or has a favorable ump, it is going to take some work. He rarely goes past 6 innings.
Welcome to the second installment of Midnight Baseball.
Ichthyomancy is ready to play all the way to the All-Star break. Best of Luck to You!
