We lost every single free pick 0-5 this week and again we could easily be sitting at 5-0. The week opened with the Mets blowing a 5-0 lead from there I knew it was going to be a long week! The next day the Giants blew an 8th inning lead and gave up 6 runs in the Bottom of the 8th. Wednesday it was the Braves in extra innings losing, Thursday the Blue Jays losing by 1 run after they tied the game in the 8th, and last night it was the Mariners losing in extra innings by 1 run. All 5 losses were bad losses, and I intend to make up for them starting

GIANTS VS. MARLINS (6:10PM ET)
3U FREE PLAY (1-5U SCALE)
_____________________________
We go with a fairly large free play today! Normally this meets my requirements for a premium selection, but because I have not given much for free with a lot of bad luck this week I decided to give this one out for free today!
A pair of LHP take the mound in Sanchez and Andrew Miller both bright stars in the league. As a young pitcher you normally struggle on the road for many reasons mostly lack of preparation. This is especially true for Sanchez who has a 6.97 ERA away from home vs. 3.04 ERA at home. Today he has across the country 3 hours ahead of his normal pitching routine which for him you can consider a day start as this game starts at 6:10 local time, but SF time it would be 3:10. Sanchez has not proven that he can make quality day starts as he posts a 6.28 ERA during the day. Another trend that will continue today due to lack of preparation and the Marlins bats who are scoring 8.24 runs/9inn last 10 games vs. LHP and 9 runs/9inn last 5 with .322 avg and a .312 avg in their last 5.
Andrew Miller will go for the Marlins he has a 3.63 ERA in his last three starts he has pitched well at home with a 3.86 ERA vs. 5.87 away. I expect him to keep the Giants in check here as they have scored just 2.92 runs per 9 with a .244 avg over their last 10 games vs. LHP.
