Marlins go for the 4 game sweep in the 2nd home away from home game in Baltimore.

Pitching match up:

BAL: Wade LeBlanc 1-0 4.09 ERA
MIA: Jordan Yamamoto (season debut)

Stats to note:

Jordan Yamamoto had a 2.95 ERA over 39.2 IP on the road last year vs a 6.00 ERA over 39.0 IP at home. Let's hope he treats this like a road game.
Wade LeBlanc has a 7.56 ERA in 25 career innings against the Marlins, but he hasn't faced the Fish since 2017.

I like the lineup 

Cervelli third is weird but OK.

Really hoping Harrison shows he belongs soon.  I'm ok with some 0-4 days but man he's looked LOST at the plate every time.  Cervelli has had a few hard hit balls, despite his average being shitty, so i'm ok with him in the 3rd spot right now. 

Monte is going to get a hit tonight

I really have no idea why Cervelli is batting third. He hits lefties well, but he's never faced LeBlanc.

Side note - LeBlanc and Cervelli have been in the big leagues since 2008 and this is their first time facing off. How often does that happen that two guys are that far into their careers and never face off til now?

Gametime soon, friends. Gametime soon.

I'm actually disappointed.

Cervelli's expected slugging thus far this season based on batted ball metrics is .699. That's pretty good!

Compare that to his actual slugging of .357 ... he's been smacking the ball so far.

Last year in super limited time with Atlanta, he had an OPS of 1.066, and that was his final month (and three games) of the year. Perhaps he figured something out ...

That's not ideal.

Alright I'll text my ex and say "I miss you," she should respond with "K."

Ah, it's this cute thing we do, every so often one of us misses the other but it's not reciprocated at the time, then it slowly switches over but never at the same time.

(I joke I don't miss her ... much.)

Another K!
