The Twins struggled against NL pitching last season, finishing 25th in batting against NL opponents. The Twins now face a very good pitcher on the road who had an ERA of just over two in his home park last season. Alcantara struggled with his command against the Mets, walking four batters and should be much better here today. I expect Alcantara to have more command in his second start of the season and to pitch deeper into this game. Minn won last night 11-1 so look for the Marlins to bounce back as the Twins were just 8-12 against the NL last season and just 1-8 on the road vs NL teams after a win.
