The Marlins are coming into this game with a 18-25 record overall and they are 8-13 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 6 of their last 7 games and are coming into this one on a 3 game losing streak. They just lost their 2-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays getting swept 2-0 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. Sandy Alcantara is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Elieser Hernández is on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 2-4 with a 5.45 ERA this season. His team lost their last 5 straight games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 0 BB with 2 Ks on 0 hits in 1 IP against the Tampa Bay Rays. They scored 4 runs in their last series averaging 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 9 runs against them averaging 4.5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Braves are coming into this game with a 22-24 record overall and they are 13-13 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. They just split their 4-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies 2-2 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. Tucker Davidson is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Max Fried will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 4-2 with a 3.27 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 5 strikeouts on 5 hits in 6 innings played against the Philadelphia Phillies. They scored 18 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 20 runs against them averaging 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Braves are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. The Braves have won 3 of their last 4 games and have been playing very well recently as they have been starting to heat up, scoring more runs in their last few games. They are going up against a Marlins team that has not been playing well recently, losing their last 3 straight and they also lost a series to the Braves just last week as well. Hernandez is starting for the Marlins here and he has not been good this season as he has allowed a lot of runs in his recent starts. Fried is on the mound for the Braves here and he has been great all season and will likely keep an injured Marlins lineup from scoring many runs here while the Braves offense continues to heat up. The best bet here is on the Braves to win this game.
