When pitchers return from Tommy John surgery, command is usually the last skill to return. That's exactly what we've seen from Sandy Alcantara so far. He has a 17:12 K:BB ratio across 23.1 IP. His Location+ is down at 93. LA is 6th in BB% and K:BB against RHP this season. They’re also top 7 in OPS, wOBA, and wRC+ vs. RHP in 2025. It's a challenging spot, especially if you aren't locating your pitches. Alcantara will be relieved by a bullpen that ranks dead last in xFIP and SIERA. The Marlins' 'pen has allowed the 3rd-most runs in the league. They had to use 6 relievers yesterday in an extra inning game.
