Miami Marlins (5-7) vs San Francisco Giants (8-4)
Saturday, April 17, 2021 at 6:10 pm
At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Miami Marlins. Remember Aaron Sanchez? The RHP broke into the Majors in 2014 as a 21-year-old with the Toronto Blue Jays. Sanchez went on to post three solid seasons culminating with his 2016 campaign in which he went 15-2 with a league-leading 3.00 ERA and an All Star selection. But in the three seasons that followed, Sanchez went 10-23 with an ERA right around five runs as he struggled to get back to the form he displayed in his early years. Now with the Giants, Sanchez is looking to resurrect his career. And so far 2021 has been a return to form for the 28-year-old. It's a small sample size, but in two starts covering 10 innings, Sanchez has posted a 2.70 ERA, with three ER on nine hits, with seven strikeouts and only one walk. RHP Sandy Alcantara will get the start for the Marlins this evening. Miami is 7-14 in Alcantara's last 21 home starts. And the Marlins are also a wallet-breaking 46-71 (-13 games on the moneyline) in their last 117 home games. Take the Giants. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
