...especially against the onslaught of rookie Zach Duke (3-0, 0.93 ERA)? Duke wasn't fazed when pitching opposite Greg Maddux in Wrigley, winning 3-0 on July 16, so how much fear can Ismael put into him in Florida? Historically Valdez hasn't been too bad at home (6-3, 2.27) or against the Pirates (4-4, 3.67), but he looked rather wild in his first chance on the mound back in San Francisco. Could be the Marlins' streak, and the Pirates' 5-game Wednesday losing streak, may be in jeopardy. (Google)
ADDENDUM FROM CRACK STAT DEPT.: So far, The Marlins' winningest day is Wednesday. They are 9-5 on Wednesdays this year, and have won 5 of their last 6 Wednesday games.
EVEN MORE: The Fish's worst weekday, as it is for so many of us, is Monday, with a record of 4-6. Then it's Thursdays at 4-5. On all other days they are 8-8.
