The San Francisco Giants take on the Miami Marlins in a weekend set. The Giants will send Alex Wood to the mound for today's start. Wood is 3-4 this season with a 4.81 ERA. He was 2-0 against the Marlins last season, allowing a run on five hits in 12 innings. Miami will send Sandy Alcantara to the mound for this one. Alcantara is 5-2 this season with a 2.00 ERA. He has faced the Giants once this season, going five innings and allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits.


Alex Wood pitched well against the Marlins last season but this season has been a struggle. In May, he has posted a 1-3 record with a 5.32 ERA in five tarts. Sandy Alcantara has pitched well in Miami, posting a 3-1 record with a 1.95 ERA in five starts. The Marlins have an edge on the mound and in the bullpen. I look for the Marlins to use their edge on the mound to secure a win.

Play on Miami. This is an 8* play.
