THE HOT CORNER

[MAL VAN VALKENBURG REVIEW-JOURNAL, 45-35-3 (overall record)]

Today's best bet: Florida Marlins-LOS ANGELES DODGERS (over 9)

This will be Jason Schmidt's second start since coming off the disabled list. He was not impressive in his first outing, and I expect the Marlins to score some runs against him. Florida's Chris Volstad gave up four runs in six innings against the Dodgers in his only start against them this season. I expect both bullpens to be involved today and plenty of runs.
