Table of Contents
Fantasy managers navigating the final stretch toward playoff positioning and bettors eyeing Sunday’s MLB slate should focus on key pitching matchups, notably the contrast between Sandy Alcantara‘s recent form and Hurston waldrep’s untested potential. The day’s action features the Miami Marlins visiting the New York Mets, and the Atlanta Braves concluding a road series against the Philadelphia Phillies.This Sunday presents a critical juncture for both daily fantasy and season-long leagues, as teams jockey for playoff spots. Identifying favorable pitching matchups and exploiting struggling hitters is paramount. Additionally, data-driven betting insights from THE BAT X system offer a competitive edge for those looking to capitalize on Sunday’s games.
Pitchers to target Sunday
The lineup Alcantara faces sports the second-highest strikeout total against righties over the last month. Alcantara has delivered a 3.07 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over his last seven starts, racking up 40 strikeouts in his past 44 innings. While the Mets have been handling right-handed pitching well recently, Alcantara’s ability to consistently pitch deep into games – seven innings in four of his last seven starts – provides valuable points-league scoring potential.
Pitcher to avoid Sunday
Despite a pristine 0.90 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over five outings, Hurston Waldrep is a risky play. He has yet to face a top-10 offense, having previously faced teams ranked 13th, 14th, 28th, and 30th in wOBA versus right-handers. Sunday’s matchup against the Atlanta Braves changes that, making him a possibly vulnerable option, especially for fantasy managers battling for a playoff berth.
