The Marlins are on their final regular season trip out to the Wild, Wild West. First up, the team will play four against the absolutely red hot, second place Giants.
Ricky Nolasco takes the hill for the Marlins. Ricky pitched very well in his last start going 8 innings, allowing 2 runs on just 4 hits. The outing would've been fantastic except for the home run ball he served up. Strangely Ricky has pitched better on the road this season than at home, albeit only slightly better. If he is on, he can shut down anybody.
Barry Zito is on tap for the Giants. You can leave out the part about him being outstanding in his last two starts; it wouldn't have mattered if he had stunk up the joint. Zito is a soft-tossing lefty and he has just owned the Marlins in the past. Zito's signature pitch is a 12 to 6 curve ball which is fun to watch, except when playing the Marlins.
This game could very easily turn into a pitching duel.
