Braves vs Marlins Prediction
The Marlins have been one of the hottest teams in baseball over the last two months, and there’s no reason that changes here. The Braves suck. Perez has also found his footing, allowing 15 hits and four runs in his last 34 innings. At 22 years old, Perez is proving he’s one of the better young arms in the sport, if his recent starts are an indication of things to come. The Braves have disappointed all year, and Carrasco has an ERA over five and a 1.53 WHIP. The Marlins should win this game, and the price is surprisingly cheap. Give me the fish.
