Can Alcantara and Fish Ignite a Fierce Comeback Against Houston?

The Marlins had the opposite weekend of the Astros. They had a very successful weekend, beating the Yankees in all three of their matchups. In fact, Miami is on a bit of a heater and is looking to get themselves back into the Wild Card race. They have won five straight games and are looking to bump that up to six straight today. This team has done surprisingly well considering their roster has about 25 guys that could walk past you on the street and you wouldn’t look twice. Kyle Stowers was a guy I expected to be traded, but the Marlins are kept him and he has put together a nice season with a .296 average, 25 homers, and 71 RBIs. The other guy I expected to be traded is pitching today, Sandy Alcantara. For the year, his numbers are a bit rough, sitting at 6-9 with a 6.36 ERA, and a 1.42 WHIP. He has shown flashes of being the Cy Young Sandy, though. He also has had moments of being a dumpster fire. However, over his last two games, he has allowed no earned runs over 12 innings and just seven hits and three walks.
