The Florida Marlins have the lowest payroll in baseball, but the way they started the season, they sure didn't show it. The Marlins roared out to an 11-1 start and shocked the baseball world. Reality then set in and the lowest payroll in baseball has played like it since. The Marlins are just 7-20 since, and as a favorite just 3-9 – they really should not be posted as a favorite at all. Chris Volstad started hot, but like the Marlins, he has been ineffective of late, and his career track record vs. the Diamondbacks isn't good, entering with a 6.75 ERA against them. Doug Davies has pitched very well all season for the Diamondbacks, so I look for the D-Backs to get the win here. NOTE: THIS IS A GAME ONE PICK IN A DOUBLEHEADER.
