Ricky Nolasco has made six starts against the Rockies, and he has won five of them. The Rockies have not won a game in a week or at Marlins Park ever. There is some good news though, asthe last time Ricky Nolasco faced the Rockies, he gave up 11 runs in 3 innings. That was good for a -6 game score, good for the worst start by any pitcher in either league in all of 2011. So maybe that's a good thing for tonight?
Nicasio and Nolasco, despite having comparable last names, also have very, very comparable pitching lines for 2012. Nearly everything is a cough away from identical, except for those strikeouts. Via FIP, Nicasio is a small leap better than the Marlins' $9 million man.
