The San Francisco Giants hit the road on their first East Coast swing of the season, and their first stop on this week and a half long trip will have them at Sun Life Stadium to face the Florida Marlins in MLB betting action.

It just doesn’t get much better than RHP Tim Lincecum. Inevitably, the right-hander will once again by a Cy Young Award candidate in the National League. He is off to a great start this year, going 4-0 with a 1.27 ERA in five starts.

Lincecum has only faced Florida once in his career, allowing two runs in 7.1 innings, earning the win in the process.

The right-hander may only be 1-2 on the season, but he has pitched significantly better of late than his record and 4.32 ERA indicate.

Sanchez allowed seven hits and two earned runs in 6.1 innings of work against the Padres in his last start and was a tough luck loser in a 4-1 loss. However, that marked his second straight solid outing after allowing five runs in each of his first two trips to the mound in 2010.

The Marlins are 15-7 in Sanchez’s L/22 starts at Sun Life Stadium.

There really is no comparison between Lincecum and Sanchez, and that pretty much goes without saying. However, the odds in this game are a tad bit ridiculous. The Marlins should really never be home underdogs of this magnitude even if a prospective 20 game winner is on the hill opposing them.

Take the nice price on the Fish to fry the G-Men tonight!
