Braves vs Marlins Prediction
The Braves are 8-1 in their last 9 meetings against the Marlins and have won their last three visits in Miami.
In this Braves vs Marlins Prediction, the Braves are coming as -125 road favorites. The Braves have nothing to play and are going for a bullpen game, but I cannot back the Marlins with Perez on the mound, as he has been in terrible form, having given up 5+ runs in four of his last five starts and has a terrible history against the Braves. On top of that, the Marlins have been much weaker against lefties throughout the season, so I will take the Braves on the moneyline in this one.
