Sandy Alcantara starting Opening Day for Marlins
Miami Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara will start Opening Day against the Philadelphia Phillies on July 24, manager Don Mattingly announced.
What It Means:
The Marlins aren't announcing the rest of their Opening Day rotation yet, but Jose Urena, Caleb Smith, and Pablo Lopez are expected to fill out the No. 2-4 spots in some order. Alcantara earned his first All-Star nod last season and finished with a 3.88 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 151 strikeouts, and 81 walks over 197 1/3 innings.
numberFire's models expect Alcantara to record a 4.52 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with 53 strikeouts and 28 walks over 63 2/3 innings this season.
