Marlins Pulled out Close Victory

The Marlins scored four runs on Saturday and that was enough for the victory. Kyle Tyler struggled on the mound, going only 2.2 innings and giving up three earned runs, but the rest of the pitching staff was strong. Jake Burger hit a home run and drove in two RBIs. The Marlins are averaging 3.61 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.95 runs per game. The offense is naked 29th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 28th. They have a negative run differential of -1.35 which is 28th in the league. It has been an ugly season, and they need to try to improve on that here. Josh Bell has hit 14 home runs and driven in 49 RBIs. Getting the start for the Marlins will be Edward Cabrera, who sits with a 1-3 record and an ERA of 6.55. In his last start against the Tampa Bay Rays, he went five innings giving up three hits and two runs. They are going to need him to dominate here.

Marcell Ozuna did have a strong game, finishing with a home run.  The Braves are averaging 4.25 runs while their pitching is giving up 3.67 runs per game. The offense is ranked 17th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 1st. The offense has been riddled with injuries, and they have had to lean on the pitching.

Miami Marlins vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

Cabrera has been decent the last couple of starts, and there is value with the Marlins here. Don’t be fooled by the high ERA, he has been better as of late. The Braves’ offense has been inconsistent at times, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. It might not be a very popular play, but the Marlins are going to get the job done here. Back the Marlins on the money line.
