Get out the broom breakers, because the Miami Marlins are trying to bust up a sweep.
It will be the Marlins and the Atlanta Braves in the finale of this three-game series. Alex Sanabia will take the hill for the Fish versus Mike Minor.
Pitching Match
Proj Win% | Proj ERA | FIP | ERA | Marlins | Braves | ERA | FIP | Proj ERA | Proj Win% |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
.339 | 5.57 | 4.79 | 0.00 | Sanabia | Minor | 1.23 | 2.98 | 4.03 | .491 |
Alex Sanabia was able to get away with an awkward outing with just one strikeout and three walks in six innings of play, but somehow he managed to shut out the New York Mets for the Marlins' lone win. The Fish are hoping for a better performance but similar overall results as the team hopes to pick off a victory from the Braves.
Mike Minor has always been a confusing pitcher, and this season may very well be no different. He has a fantastic capability for strikeouts, but he is also a fly ball pitcher and has had occasional problems with balls in play. The Marlins have also tended to do a good job against him in the past, but this is no typical Marlins team, of course.
