Muller got the start May 1 at Texas and was shelled by the Rangers. He allowed seven earned runs on four hits and six walks over just 2.2 innings of work. Location is a big issue for Muller. He hasn’t kept his bases on balls percentage under 12% during a season since 2018, when he was in Double-A.
Muller will be facing the Marlins for the second time. Last season, he got the start against Miami and took the loss. He’s showing a 5.76 ERA against the Marlins.

| 3.75 | WHIP | 0.95 |
| 0.50 | SO/W Ratio | 3.06 |
Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo is showing decent numbers everywhere expect in the win column. He’s coming into this game after earning his third win of the season and it was a gem. Luzardo worked seven shutout innings of one-hit baseball on Aug. 7 at the Chicago Cubs. He struck out six and walked won while earning the win in a 3-0 victory.
Jesus Luzardo was stellar today.
