The weather may get better as Gustav heads farther away, but there's much early Sunday morning rain near the stadium.
The Marlins begin today an unusual-for-this-era stretch of four days when they will be playing three afternoon games.
The last time Pedro pitched against the Marlins he was sidelined for two months. Scott, who is "pitching to a 2.98 ERA in 15 home starts this year", will start for the Fish. (SportsNetwork)
"In his last four starts, the Mets have scored a total of 22 runs for Martinez although they have only won two of those games...(I)n four afternoon starts this season he is 1-0 with an ERA of 2.57....
"Since the All-Star break, the 24-year-old (Olsen) has had eight starts, with Florida winning the first of those on July 19, and then laying a goose egg so far since then." (SBRforum)
The Mets and Marlins are both 4-6 in their last ten August 31st games, but the distributions are different - the Marlins are on a 3-game losing streak, while the Mets won last year after a 5-game losing streak. The Marlins lost their last 2 Sunday home games but are 7-4 for the entire year, while the Mets have won 4 of their last 5 Sunday road games and are 6-5 for the year.

UGH!: Pedro went 6 innings; Scott went 6.1. Both gave up 7 hits, 1 walk and both had 4 strikeouts. The main difference? Scott gave up 3 homers to Pedro's 0 - and the Fish lose 6-2. "The defeat meant that for only the second time in Marlins history, they went an entire month without back-to-back victories. They were 11-17 in August." Fish return to 7 games off the lead with 25 games left. (FOX)
