Mike Pelfrey, coming off two complete-game-victories, demands to pitch tonight against the team that he is 0-3 with a 10.66 ERA against. Ricky Nolasco, who's won 3 of his last 4 decisions, and is 1-1 with a 4.08 ERA against the Mets this year, takes the mound for the Fish.
(But maybe not; today South Florida is on the outer fringes of powerful hurricane Gustav, and at best we'll be getting periodic rain squalls throughout the evening. Expect at least delays. Natural fireworks may replace tonight's man-made ones.)
This year the Marlins are 7-2 in Saturday home games while the Mets are 5-6 in Saturday road games. Since 1993 the Fish are 8-5 and the Mets are 8-6 in August 30th games.
