Miami Marlins at Philadelphia Phillies
Suggestion: Miami Marlins (-110)

Philly starter Joe Blanton is back after spending much of 2011 injured. With his performance a huge question mark, I'll back Miami's Mark Buehrle, who has spent many productive years in the AL in his first start agains Philly. Invest in the Miami Marlins (-110)

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres
Suggestion: Arizona Diamondbacks (-134)

My basis for this play is simple, San Diego is no match for Arizona starter Ian Kennedy. Kennedy is never more dominating than when he plays the Padres; consider his 5-0 record, 2.01 ERA, a 59 to 8 strikeout to walk ratio and a 0.93 WHIP against them. San Diego is no juggernaut, and well take this relatively short price to grab one of baseball's best pitchers against the team he plays his best games against. Invest in the San Diego Padres (-134)
