Players to Watch: Miami Marlins vs. Washington Nationals
Miami Marlins
Otto Lopez — SS. Lopez is hitting .326 with a .356 on-base percentage and a .457 slugging mark, giving Miami one of its most reliable bat-to-ball profiles. His OBP helps keep the top of the order moving for a lineup that has leaned more on contact than power.
Liam Hicks — C. Hicks gives Miami an important power source with 11 home runs and 45 RBIs while hitting .268 from the catcher spot. For a team with 46 home runs on the year, his production accounts for a significant share of the total.
Sandy Alcantara — SP. Alcantara takes the ball at 3-4 with a 4.66 ERA across 75.1 innings, posting 52 strikeouts and a 1.33 WHIP. The right-hander is the named probable starter for tonight and the most experienced arm Miami can run out in this matchup.
Washington Nationals
CJ Abrams — SS. Abrams is the engine of the Washington offense, hitting .294 with 12 home runs, 47 RBIs and a .542 slugging percentage. His .391 OBP is the highest among the Nationals’ featured hitters in tonight’s slate and pairs with real extra-base damage.
James Wood — RF. Wood leads Washington with 16 home runs, well ahead of Abrams’ 12, and adds 39 RBIs while hitting .272 from right field. He gives the lineup a second left-handed power threat against Alcantara.
Cade Cavalli — SP. Cavalli draws the start at 3-3 with a 3.62 ERA, 68 strikeouts and a 1.41 WHIP across 59.2 innings. The right-hander’s strikeout total is the team-leading figure in tonight’s matchup, ahead of Alcantara’s 52 across a slightly longer workload.
