Braves vs Marlins prediction
I considered pulling the trigger with the Marlins and the massive plus money given the early struggles of Max Fried. Rogers is also a talented pitcher who was an all star a couple of years ago. Still, the Braves have owned the Marlins over the years and the fish haven’t shown many positives through 13 games. Fried should turn things around sooner than later, and Rogers has had no career success against the Braves. Give me the Braves and the RL for max betting value.
