The Miami Marlins are coming into this contest riding a three-game winning streak which includes a 3-0 win against the San Diego Padres in the opener of a three-game set last night. I like the Padres to bounce back with a win tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Fish will hand the ball to Dan Haren (7-5, 3.46 ERA) who was lit up for five runs on seven hits with two homers in six innings of an 8-7 loss at Philadelphia his last start. Not that surprising as he's 3-3 with a 4.13 ERA away from home for the season. The Padres will counter with Andrew Cashner (3-10, 4.10) who's off a sub-par outing as well when he was touched for four runs on three hits in 7 2/3 innings of a 5-2 loss at PNC Park. His last outing home at Petco Park was a decent one though when he held Arizona to two runs over seven frames and he's posted a respectable 2.91 ERA in seven career appearances (three starts) against the Marlins. He should be able to contain a Fish offense here again as the visitors offense is plagued by injuries.

2. Overachieving Fish Offense - The Marlins have been able to overcome injuries to Dee Gordon and Giancarlo Stanton. How long can we expect them to keep that up though?

3. X-Factor - Alexi Amarista was 2-for-3 last night and he's 5-for-11 with two doubles and a homer off Haren lifetime.

Selection: This is a play on the San Diego Padres (10*)
