What to watch for on...

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday: Starting pitching!

Fish Stripes GIF Database

• It’s the battle of the aces this weekend as the Marlins take on the Dodgers, so my “what to watch for” each game will be starting pitching.
• The Fish have their best two arms going Friday and Sunday in Sandy Alcantara and Pablo López, respectively. Saturday night’s starter is Jordan Holloway. The Marlins have their work cut out for them as they face Clayton Kershaw and Trevor Bauer back-to-back. Walker Buehler was scheduled to start on Sunday, but his start has been pushed back. Jimmy Nelson will take his place.
• The Dodgers have been struggling lately, with a record of four wins and six losses over their last 10 games, but they just swept a two-game mini-series against the Seattle Mariners. The Marlins are coming off a two-game win streak of their own.
• Enjoy the pitchers’ duels this weekend!
