Marlins vs Braves Prediction
Alcantara hasn’t been himself this year and has had some real stinkers, but he’s still a CY Young winner and a two-time all-star. Waldrep has been ridiculous, but he’s thrown just 24.2 innings this season. The jury is still out on Waldrep if we’re being honest. I was going to lean toward the Braves, but we’re getting plus money with the Marlins at home with one of the best arms in the sport when he’s right. The fish also play their best ball by far at home. I’ll take my chances with the Marlins at home at this price, given who is on the mound.
