Pre-game buzz
Sandy Alcantara will be the starting pitcher for Miami. At the moment, Alcantara is running at 3.97 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 22.2 innings of work. This means he's hit the straps pretty well and will look to continue to do the job for Miami. After their seven-game run against the Philadelphia Phillies, the home side will be confident in taking on strugglers, Red Sox.
Their defense has been their weakness and with the season pretty much done for the side, they will be looking at taking as many wins as they can. All eyes will be on the pitcher, Tanner Houck who gets to meet his big-league debut.
Who will win?
The Marlins are favored to take this series as well. Their home record reads 7-11 and the Red Sox has a 9-14 away record to their name. Plus they have been quite a bit of a disappointment this season. We'll be looking at Marlins to wrap this up.
