The D-Backs are getting all the ink, running out fast in the West, but the reality is that the Marlins are just 1.5 games off their pace. They became the first to hand Brandon Webb a loss yesterday, and you have to know they will be a confident group tonight. As good as the D-Backs have been they are just 9-10 on the road - so very mediocre. Playing a team that has played on an equal level at home certainly shows lots of value to the home side. The D-Backs are just 5-5 in Dan Haren's starts and have yet to win one on the road with him on the mound. Justin Miller has a winning career record as a starter, and the Marlins find ways to get it done and as a home dog, we have to back them here.
