Braves vs Marlins Prediction
The Braves are 7-1 in their last 8 meetings against the Marlins and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in Miami.
In this Braves vs Marlins Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. Both teams have nothing to play for and I like the Marlins at home in this one, as they have the pitching edge with Janson Junk on the mound, who has given up one run or less in six of his last seven starts. On the flip side, JR Ritchie has a 5.45 road ERA for the Braves and the Marlins have a better bullpen ERA in their last 5. Take the Marlins to win this one at home.
