The Astros of Houston, who are on the right track for their ninth consecutive cutting edge of the playoffs, will visit the Marlins de Miami, heated by Red, for a series of three games that starts on Monday evening.
Houston is also in pace for his eighth title of the American League West in nine years. However, the Astros will arrive in Miami after being swept away in three games by the Boston Red Sox host.
The marlins have the profile mainly opposed a losing franchise in the past two decades, but on a major role at the moment.
In fact, the Marlins lost 100 games last year, and they only made the playoffs twice in the past 21 years.
However, Miami has only lost one of its last 12 series, and the Marlins are 30-14 years old since June 13. They won five in a row.
The marlins have done incredible things lately.
On Sunday, the Marlins finished a three -game scan on New York York Yankees on a visit. It was the first scan on the Yankees in the history of the Marlins.
The Marlins’ left field player, Kyle Stowers, had two circuits and eight points produced in the three -game series.
In addition, the Marlins Center Jakob Marsee field player made his MLB debut this weekend, and he became the first major Leguer since 1901 to record at least four additional strokes and at least four walks in his first three big league games.
Marlins fans have noticed. The series against New York attracted 101,545 spectators. This is the largest frequentation figure for three games for the Marlins since they moved to Loandepot Park in 2012.
It is impressive because the marlins had the worst attendance of the national league last year with an average of 13,425.
On the ground, the Marlins have reached 0,500 for the first time since April 15. At one point, the Marlins were as low as 16 games under .500.
“It was a regular ascent,” said Clayton McCullough, recruit director of Marlins. “Going to 0.500 is great. It took a lot of work to get here. Now we have to prepare for Houston.”
McCullough, a solid candidate for the director of the national league of the year, will send the right -hander Sandy Alcantara to the mound on Monday evening.
Alcantara won the National League Cy Young Award in 2022 with an MPM of 2.28 and a record of 228 2/3 sleeves, but missed last season due to an elbow operation.
After his appearance against the Royals on July 18, Alcantara had the highest era of the League. But in its last two beginnings with its swirling name around commercial rumors, Alcantara has resumed its old shape with a single round allowed in 12 sleeves.
Once the deadline for trade, Alcantara was smiling. But he remains to be seen how he behaves against the astros, a franchise that he never faced.
Houston counter-control-32-year-old right-hander, Jason Alexander. Alexander made 146 appearances in the minor league in eight years and only 26 in two years in the majors. He never faced Miami.
This series will also mark the return of the former right defender of the Marlins, Jesus Sanchez, who was exchanged in Houston just before the deadline. It is 3 for 11 with a double in two games with the astros.
Another newcomer Astros, in a way, is the third basic player Carlos Correa, who played two games on his return to Houston after spending his first seven MLB seasons with the astros and three more in Minnesota. He hit a solo circuit on Sunday during the 6-1 defeat of Houston against Boston.
“We just couldn’t do much about the whole series,” said Astros Joe Espada manager. “We have to put it behind quickly and prepare for Miami.”
