Get out the broom breakers, because the Miami Marlins are looking to break up a sweep.
Heck, the Marlins are looking to score a run in this series.
The Milwaukee Brewers have shut out the Fish thus far, and hopefully today's game brings a little bit of change. The offense needs to kick in for the Fish to win this matchup between Henderson Alvarez and Wily Peralta.
Pitching Matchup
Proj Win% | Proj ERA | FIP | ERA | Marlins | Brewers | ERA | FIP | Proj ERA | Proj Win% |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
.428 | 4.61 | 2.94 | 4.58 | Alvarez | Peralta | 4.61 | 4.33 | 4.69 | .424 |
It's hard to tell which of these pitchers is more flawed, so it's about an evenly matched flaw-a-thon. I have my money slightly on Henderson Alvarez, as he lacks the control issues of Peralta, but Peralta can actually strike out hitters, so it may be a wash.
Lineup
Order | Player | Proj wOBA vs. RHP |
---|---|---|
1 | Adeiny Hechavarria | .270 |
2 | Ed Lucas | --- |
3 | Giancarlo Stanton | .394 |
4 | Logan Morrison | .355 |
5 | Marcell Ozuna | .301 |
6 | Derek Dietrich | .301 |
7 | Justin Ruggiano | .314 |
8 | Rob Brantly | .296 |
9 | Pitcher | --- |
Well, the Marlins are now batting Adeiny Hechavarria leadoff. That is the current state of the Marlins' offense, and it is awful.
Bold Prediction: Brewers def. Marlins 5-2
