Arizona Diamondbacks by 2
Okay, time to play like a psychic. So, step right up Miami Marlins taking on Arizona Diamondbacks at the batter friendly Chase Field in Phoenix.
Now, smell that marlin grilling on the mound as Miami's own Sandy Alcantara enters the scene. Alcántara has had a seriously rough season, folks, with an unsightly ERA of 6.88 and a WHIP of 1.50. Not much to write home about, unless you're a fan of suspense.
