The two Florida teams will hook up tonight when the Miami Marlins host the Tampa Bay Rays at LoanDepot Park. Two lefties will oppose each other with Shane McClanahan getting the nod for Tampa and Jesús Luzardo for Miami. McClanahan has been throwing heat all season long. He comes in at 11-5, with a 2.20 ERA, a nasty WHIP of 0.86, and is 2-0 in his career against the Marlins with a 0.82 ERA. Luzardo is 3-5 with a 3.34 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP. The Rays are 7-2 in their last 9 overall and 7-1 in their last 8 against a left-handed starter. Tampa holds the top spot in the AL Wild Card and they have won 5 straight against the rebuilding Miami Marlins.
