Starting Pitchers for Monday’s Matchup
Sandy Alcantara will take the mound for Miami carrying an 8-4 record, a 4.01 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, and 110.0 innings pitched. He has allowed 109 hits while striking out 81 batters, issuing 27 walks, and giving up 12 home runs. Colorado has not yet announced a starting pitcher for this game. Alcantara enters with a substantial workload this season and provides Miami with an experienced arm based on the statistics provided.
Miami Carries Momentum Into Denver
The Marlins enter this matchup with a 44-39 overall record and a 16-22 mark on the road. Miami has recently won four of its last five games, earning back-to-back victories over St. Louis after previously taking two of three from Texas. The lone defeat during that stretch came by a single run against Texas, making this one of the hotter teams entering Monday’s slate.
Miami is batting .247 with 358 runs, 676 hits, 73 home runs, a .324 on-base percentage, and a .390 slugging percentage. On the pitching side, the Marlins own a 3.96 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, 284 walks, 707 strikeouts, and a .227 opponent batting average. Miami has also compiled a 23-14 record in day games.
The Marlins’ biggest strength has been their pitching. Miami owns the lower ERA, lower WHIP, and significantly lower opponent batting average compared to Colorado. Those numbers have helped the club put together a winning record despite hitting fewer home runs than its opponent.
Colorado Looks to Defend Home Field
The Rockies come into Monday’s contest with a 33-50 overall record and an 18-22 home record. Colorado has recently defeated Minnesota, previously lost to Minnesota in extra innings, and before that won two of three games against Boston. The Rockies have gone 3-2 over their last five games and have shown some positive signs despite their overall record.
Colorado is batting .255 with 385 runs, 721 hits, 92 home runs, a .324 on-base percentage, and a .417 slugging percentage. The Rockies have a 5.51 ERA, a 1.51 WHIP, 276 walks, 587 strikeouts, and a .286 opponent batting average. They are 9-17 in day games.
Colorado’s biggest strength is its offense. The Rockies lead Miami in batting average, runs scored, hits, home runs, and slugging percentage. However, those offensive advantages are balanced by pitching numbers that trail Miami across every major category provided.
