Sandy Alcantara Likely to Start on Opening Day
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara is expected to be the Opening Day starter, according to Christina De Nicola. This isn't shocking news, given the Marlins traded Edward Cabrera and Ryan Weathers this offseason. The only competition for the Opening Day start would be Eury Perez. The Marlins are expected to give the starting nod to the veteran Alcantara, who has certainly earned this honor. Alcantara mostly struggled last season, but showed signs of life down the stretch of the season. Over his final eight starts, Alcantara posted a 2.68 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and a 52/10 K/BB ratio across 53.2 innings. Fantasy managers will need to see a strong showing in Spring Training before jumping on the Alcantara hype train again.
