Call it Deja Vu, or whatever you want, but as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  Last night we gave you the winner in the Marlins and to be honest, I think it can happen again.  The Marlins will put their young wannabe stud on the mound against one of the more streaky pitchers for the Padres.  The Marlins' Andrew Miller stands 6 foot 7 inches and can throw some good stuff, but consistent walks and a horrible BABIP (.341) have plagued him this year.  On any night he can go out and strike out 10 or give up 10, you just never know.  But what about Wolf you say...

Florida Marlins -101 at San Diego Padres -119 

Wolf, other than the height, is much like Andrew Miller in so far as he is a K machine (actually better than Miller), but he can also give up a lot of runs.  The good news for Wolf fantasy owners is that he is usually good at home, so he is a definite start tonight as I expect him to do well enough for fantasy owners, just not get the win.  Take the Marlins in this one as they are at about even odds, and are the better team.
