AI Analysis
Sandy Alcantara is one of the best starters in the game, posting a 3.54 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 195.2 IP with a 13-9 record — a dominant workload and quality. Manaea counters with a 4.70 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. Miami's lineup has hot hitters (Stowers 🔥, Sanoja 🔥, Marsee 🔥) and their offense is producing 5.1 R/G over the last 10. The Mets' offense, while recently active (5.3 R/G L10), faces a significant pitching disadvantage against Alcantara. The Marlins are line favorites at -127, which is reasonable value for Alcantara.
Concerns

- •Mets' RA/G is excellent at 3.1, reflecting a strong bullpen
