The Phillies were bounced from the playoff race, so there shouldn’t be much motivation. While the Phillies are the better team, we’re getting plus money with an all star caliber pitcher in Alcantara. In his last 35.1 innings, Alcantara has allowed 28 hits and nine earned runs while striking out 37 batters. The value is with the plus money and the Marlins at home.
