Atlanta Braves vs Miami Marlins Prediction

I’ll lean toward the Braves. Probably not touching it, though. Holmes likely won’t be in there for too long. He’s coming off 4.0 innings with two earned in an appearance versus the Reds. As for McCaughan, he’s given up 10 earned runs in 13.1 innings over his last three outings.

On Saturday the Braves got a nice pitching effort from Fried and the bullpen. Offensively, three homers drove the scoring. Atlanta will probably have to patch things together on the mound Sunday but they should be up for the challenge.
