Today’s matchup is between the Miami Marlins (24-28) and the Toronto Blue Jays (27-25). The Marlins have won 1 of their last 5 games & the Jays have won 3 of their last 5 games.
The Marlins are starting Pablo Lopez (RHP), on the mound who is 1-3 on the season pitching a 2.71 ERA, 3.23 FIP, .284 wOBA, K% of 23.2%, BB% of 7.1%, 85.5 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.13 WHIP in 63.0 innings pitched.
The Jays are starting Alex Manoah (RHP), who is 1-0 on the season with a 0.00 ERA, 1.79 FIP, .143 wOBA, K% of 31.8%, BB% of 9.1%, 80.1 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.67 WHIP in 6.0 innings pitched.
The Marlins are the 7th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Jays are 15th.
On the hitting side, the Marlins have a .292 wOBA and a .299 OBP. The Jays have a .332 wOBA and a .324 OBP. The Marlins have 45 HRs this season while the Jays have 77 HRs.
Alex Manoah (Blue Jays) has only pitched 6 innings but didn't give up a run. Also in AAA Manoah went 3-0 with a .50 ERA. I'm going to say he's a promising star pitcher in the league. Pablo Lopez is a great pitcher too but as the common team for the Marlins the Jays have the huge hitting advantage so that's going to be my pick!
