Los Angeles Angels at Miami Marlins (2026-08-09). Grayson Rodriguez vs Ryan Gusto at loanDepot park.
Starters — Rodriguez carries a 7.24 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 51 innings, with 7.41 K/9, 3.88 BB/9, and 1.59 HR/9. His last three starts were better than the full-season line: 7 IP, 2 ER, 6 K, 1 BB on August 4; 5 IP, 2 ER, 6 K, 2 BB on July 29; and 4 IP, 5 ER, 3 K, 2 BB on July 24. The recent trend is down, suggesting some improvement after a rough overall profile. Gusto has a 4.80 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 45 innings, with 7.8 K/9, 2.6 BB/9, and 1.0 HR/9. His last three starts were 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 K, 0 BB on August 4; 5 IP, 6 ER, 3 K, 2 BB on July 29; and 3.1 IP, 1 ER, 4 K, 1 BB on July 24. The trend is up, and his lower walk rate and home-run rate are cleaner indicators than Rodriguez’s.
Teams — The Angels have a .690 OPS, 481 runs, a .236 average, and a pitching staff with a 4.48 ERA and 1.37 WHIP. They are 3-7 over their last 10, which adds to the concern around a lineup that has been less efficient overall and a staff that has allowed traffic. Miami owns a .728 OPS, 512 runs, a .250 average, and a 3.97 team ERA with a 1.25 WHIP. The Marlins are 5-5 in their last 10, and their season-long edge shows up on both sides of the ball, especially in run production and run prevention.
