Braves vs Marlins Prediction

Miami picked up a nice win to start this series on Monday, as they try to hold third place in the division from these Braves. Miami is 31-35 at home this year, while Atlanta is 26-39 on the road. The Braves are in the middle of a very disappointing season, but they are starting Waldrep, who has allowed a total of two earned runs in his first four starts. Miami is going with Alcantara, who has allowed 1, 1, 5, 6, and 0 earned runs in his last five outings. We have seen Waldrep pitch very well this year, so I will take the Braves on the road.
