Atlanta Braves vs Miami Marlins Prediction
I might take a stab at the Marlins here. Miami has been coughing up a ton of runs lately though (a combined 37 in three games versus the Dodgers) so I’m probably staying away. That said, Fried might give the offense some opportunities. He’s given up seven earned over his last 12.0 innings in a pair of losses.
On Friday the Marlins were able to power out a victory thanks to a huge first inning. There wasn’t much happening beyond that, however, as Michael Harris (run) had three of eight team hits. Miami should have a decent shot if they can keep it going in the pen, however.
