I've watched it, he would've given up a few runs in another park against another team. He's pretty much always been absolute ass in the 2nd half.
2005...
1st half: 8-6, 3.89 ERA
2nd half: 5-8, 4.41 ERA
2006...
1st half: 11-6, 5.55 ERA
2nd half: 3-10, 6.72 ERA
2007...
1st half: 6-5, 3.67 ERA
2nd half: 6-4, 5.73 ERA
2008...
1st half: 6-5, 4.44 ERA
2nd half: 5-4, 4.66 ERA (and a bunch less starts with the Harden move and Lou was sick of him)
Career...
1st half: 60-39, 4.16 ERA, 1.347 WHIP, .253 BAA, .729 OPS
2nd half: 30-37, 4.93 ERA, 1.513 WHIP, .285 BAA, .818 OPS
Now obviously his 1st half this year helps those numbers, but it's still a noticeable difference.
Also, I pointed out a lot last year how much better Marquis has always been in NL West parks, even Coors Field. Maybe that's just where he's supposed to be for whatever reason. I expect him to basically be the #4/#5 he is the rest of the year though.
