Marlins vs Braves Prediction
We hit on the Marlins yesterday, and I’m going to double-dip in this spot. Perez hasn’t pitched much over the last couple of years, but he’s a talented young arm who can put together a great outing. Perez has high upside and is a pitcher worth watching. The Braves have lost four straight games Holmes has pitched, and he’s allowed eight earned runs in his last 15 innings. In 29.2 road innings, Holmes has a 5.46 ERA. Give me the Marlins and the plus money.
