DraftKings. After his opening day start which saw him strikeout seven Pirates, Sandy Alcantara has failed to clear this line in each of his next four outings (10 total strikeouts). He’s never been a strikeout pitcher, per se, but would rack them up on pure volume alone. The issue this year is that he has yet to regain his dominant form (6.56 ERA / 4.84 xERA). And now he gets the Dodgers, who are very stingy with strikeouts at home (20.7% K% vs righties at home over the last 300 plate appearances). And it’s a lineup that Alcantara struggled to strikeout at the peak of his powers.
I think simply out of principle we have to play something on Dodgers at home this cheaply against a not-good Marlins team. We are getting less than, say, -240, because it's former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara for Miami and likely some bullpen day for L.A. with all its pitching injuries. But Alcantara hasn't been very good this year with a 6.56 ERA and the lineups are not remotely close.
