Vegas Play of the Day: Miami Marlins at Arizona Diamondbacks

Wed, Jul 22, 2015 (10:15 a.m.)

We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have restarted with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

Miami Marlins minus-119 at Arizona Diamondbacks: $595 to win $500

In three starts this season, Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez has 21 strikeouts to one walk and allowed only five earned runs. It’s still too early to say whether he’ll return to his pre-elbow injury form, but all of the positive signs are there, so I want to get on his side before the price becomes too steep.

The Diamondbacks’ offensive numbers for the season are some of the best in the National League, but they’ve lost seven of their past eight. That combined with a Fernandez start makes me pretty confident in this one.

Current Standings (as of July 1): Brewer (5-2, $11,300), Bern (2-3, $9,740), Keefer (1-7, $6,630)

Lifetime Records: 2014-15 champion Bern (87-77-1), Keefer (85-92-2), Brewer (76-91-2)
