Marlins vs Braves Prediction 

These two teams come into this contest battling for third in the NL East standings, but Miami currently has a two game lead. The Marlins are 30-35 at home this year, while the Braves are 26-38 on the road. Atlanta has played much better over the last few weeks and they are starting Strider, who has allowed 20 earned runs in his last three starts. The Marlins are going with Cabrera, who has allowed nine earned runs in his last two outings. I know both starters have struggled recently, but I have no faith in Strider right now. Take Miami to win.
