Marlins vs Diamondbacks Key Matchups and Game Preview
Miami Leans on Alcantara

Alcantara has allowed 188 hits and 22 home runs while recording 143 strikeouts against 55 walks, giving Miami a dependable option capable of working deep into games and a significant experience edge in this matchup.
Diamondbacks Counter With Burnes
Arizona responds with Corbin Burnes, whose 2026 major-league workload remains extremely limited at just three innings. Burnes has allowed two hits and two walks with two strikeouts and no runs or home runs, so both his workload capacity and his effectiveness over multiple innings remain major unknowns heading into this start.
