Key Stats
Miami Marlins
The Marlins are projected to send A.J. Puk to the mound for today’s game. Puk is 0-1 this season with an 18.00 ERA and one strikeout. Jake Burger leads the team with a .320 batting average, seven RBIs, and eight hits. Josh Bell has an OBP of .429, while Avisail Garcia has a team-high one home run.
Los Angeles Angels
Patrick Sandoval is the probable starting pitcher for the Angels today. Sandoval has started the season 0-1 with a 16.20 ERA and struck out two batters. Mike Trout leads the team with a .278 batting average and three home runs. Nolan Schanuel carries an OBP of .615, while Logan O’Hoppe has collected six hits. Taylor Ward has a team-high six RBIs.
Game Prediction
Both pitchers are off to a bad start this season, but I think Sandoval is better. This Marlins team has not been productive at the plate this year, and Sandoval should be able to put together a decent outing. The Angels have been surprisingly decent this year, and with Puk on the mound, they will be able to score enough to get the job done and keep Miami winless in 2024.
Final Pick
Los Angeles Angels ML (+105)
