Marlins vs Braves Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup after losing their last series, but Miami has played much better over the last few weeks. The Marlins are 28-26 on the road this year, while the Braves are 26-29 at home. Atlanta has struggled offensively pretty much all season and they will face Perez, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five straight outings. The Marlins will go against Carrasco, who has allowed 3, 2, and 4 earned runs in his last three outings, which has been across 12.1 innings. I think Miami has all of the momentum and a big advantage on the mound, so give me the Marlins to win.
