The Marlins are looking to rebound from their extra-innings loss last night.
Pitching Matchup
Team | Starter | ERA | FIP | 2016 ZIPS Projected ERA |
SF | Matt Moore | 4.04 | 4.46 | 4.41 |
MIA | Tom Koehler | 4.05 | 4.12 | 4.15 |
Tom Koehler (8-8) has been Miami's hottest pitcher over his last five three starts, striking out 17 and walking only three in that span. Last week he held the league-best Cubs to only one run over his six innings in a no decision.
Koehler is matched up against Matt Moore (7-7), the Giants' deadline acquisition who pitched great in his first start with the squad. The lefty struck out seven and gave up only three hits in his six-inning no decision, but he also surrendered six walks against the Phillies.
Miguel Rojas gives Adeiny Hechavarria a day off at short, while Chris Johnson gets the start at first against the lefty.
Bold Prediction: Koehler keeps in strong form in a 5-2 win.
