The Braves are coming into this game with an 18-21 record overall and they are 8-10 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. They just lost their 3-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Marlins on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Kyle Wright is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Ian Anderson is on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 3-2 with a 3.75 ERA this season. His team won 3 of their last 4 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 2 BB with 3 Ks on 4 hits in 6 IP against the Milwaukee Brewers. They scored 9 runs in their last series averaging 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 8 runs against them averaging just under 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Marlins are coming into this game with a 17-21 record overall and they are 9-11 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Washington Nationals 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Braves on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Elieser Hernández is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Sandy Alcantara will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 3-2 with a 2.49 ERA this season. His team won their last 2 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 earned run, 0 homers, and 1 BB with 5 strikeouts on 3 hits in 8 innings played against the Washington Nationals. They scored 17 runs in their last series averaging just under 6 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 8 runs against them averaging just under 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Marlins are coming into this game as a slight underdog with the current betting odds. They have not been playing well over the last few weeks but have been much better in their recent games as they are starting to win more games. They have not won a game against the Braves in this series but they have been playing well at home and have been keeping their games close with them. The Marlins have one of their best pitchers starting in this game in Alcantara and he will likely pitch a very good game that will keep the Braves from scoring a lot and keep this game within reach for the Marlins. The Braves have been a very inconsistent team this season, they have been playing much better recently compared to their start to the season but they have Anderson starting on the mound here. Anderson started the season off pitching very well but he has started to collapse in his recent starts and the Marlins are bound to get to him here at home to win a game. The best bet here is on the Marlins to win this game.
