The Miami Marlins are set to face the Cleveland Guardians, with Sandy Alcantara taking the mound. Alcantara has been dominant at home, with a strong record that could give the Marlins an edge in tonight’s game.
Alcantara’s Home Performance
Alcantara has made nine home starts, allowing 21 earned runs. However, 13 of those runs came in just two games, meaning he has allowed only eight earned runs in his other seven home starts. This level of performance has made him a key player for the Marlins, especially at home.
The Guardians, on the other hand, will be starting Parker Messick, who has been one of their best pitchers this season. Messick has a 7-5 record with a 2.80 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. Despite his strong overall performance, Messick has allowed seven of his nine home runs on the road, which could be a factor in tonight’s game.
Marlins’ Recent Success
The Marlins have been on a hot streak, with a 26-8 record since May 1st. This young team has been impressive, with only one player above 30 outside of their pitching staff. Their success has been a surprise to many, and they will look to continue it against the Guardians.
