Sergio Mitre (R) vs Andy Pettitte (L)
Oddsmakers don't give the Marlins much of a chance Tuesday, installing them and their starting pitcher as 230 pups when they visit Houston at Minute Maid Park.
Andy Pettitte will look to follow up last game's dominating performance by Roy Oswalt for Houston, while Sergio Mitre gets the nod for the Marlins.
Sporting a 0-1 overall record and a 0-0 mark within the division, the Marlins aim to knock the Astros (0-0 In the division) for a loss.
The Astros are a huge favorite, but offer the temptation for dog bettors to collect big if they can win despite the 230. The Marlins, with a 0-1 mark on the season, look to bite as a big road dog in a game that sees the total open at 8.5.
Florida was shut down by Roy Oswalt in their last game, a 1-0 loss to the Astros. The Marlin batters need to come to life today and give Mitre a fighting chance.
The Astros staff is stingy with baserunners, so the Marlins will need to get to Pettitte and into the bullpen early to make things happen today.
Some trends to consider:
Florida is 2-10-0 OU in its last 12 games away against Houston
Florida is 5-16-0 OU in its last 21 games against Houston
Florida is 4-2-0 SU in its last 6 games after being shutout
Florida is 4-2-0 OU in its last 6 games

Houston is 5-10-1 OU in its last 16 at home
