The Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves meet Monday in MLB action at Truist Park.

The Miami Marlins look for a win after losing four of their last five games. The Marlins have scored five runs in their last three games and three or less runs in five straight games. The Marlins have lost five of their last six games when scoring three or less runs. Starling Marte leads the Marlins with 10 hits and two RBI while Jesus Aguilar and Miguel Rojas have combined for 15 hits and seven RBI. Sandy Alcantara gets the ball, and he is 0-1 with a 1.50 ERA and 17 strikeouts this season. Alcantara is 0-0 with a 2.41 ERA and 13 strikeouts in his career against the Braves.

The Atlanta Braves look for a win here to get back to a .500 record. The Braves have scored 19 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last six games. The Braves have won three of their last five games when scoring four or more runs. Ronald Acuna Jr. leads the Braves with 16 hits and eight RBI while Travis d’Arnaud and Dansby Swanson have combined for 14 hits and seven RBI. Max Fried gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 9.00 ERA and 11 strikeouts this season. Fried is 0-1 with a 5.13 ERA and 31 strikeouts in his career against the Marlins.

The Marlins are 0-4 in their last 4 during game 1 of a series and 4-1 in their last 5 Monday games. The Braves are 6-2 in their last 8 during game 1 of a series and 43-19 in their last 62 home games. The under is 4-0-1 in Marlins last 5 overall. The over is 4-1 in Braves last 5 overall. The Marlins are 5-21 in the last 26 meetings in Atlanta and 13-39 in the last 52 meetings.

The Atlanta Braves are the better team here and have had success against the Marlins, which includes sweeping them in last years playoffs. The Braves should be favored here. However, we’re getting big plus money with the Marlins and an ace pitcher in Alcantara, who has been money through two starts and seems to be getting stronger with more reps under his belt. I’m always willing to grab plus money with ace quality pitchers. Give me the fish.
