Marlins vs Braves Prediction
Atlanta comes into this series after a very impressive series sweep against the Mets, and they will look to keep gaining ground in the NL East standings. The Braves are just 12-24 on the road this year, while the Marlins are 15-23 at home. Miami played the Phillies tough in their last series, but they didn’t have enough offense to get a series split. The Marlins are starting Junk, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in four of his last five outings. The Braves are going with Fuentes, who has a 4.81 ERA over nine starts at three different levels this year. I know Atlanta is hot, but Miami has been a tough team to play, and Junk has been solid. Take the Marlins here.
