Miami Marlins (16-13) vs Atlanta Braves (19-10)

Yes, the Atlanta Braves have owned the Marlins over the years. However, this is a terrific spot for the fish to turn the tide a bit. The Braves are coming off a double header yesterday and had to travel from New York, while the Marlins are fresh off a sweep of the Cubs and had yesterday off. Also, the Braves are sure to be without Ronald Acuna after getting hit by a pitch. Sandy Alcantara is due for a great game after a shaky start to the season. Alcantara was the best pitcher in baseball last year, and that included a 1.64 ERA and .191 allowed batting average through 121 innings at home. Alcantara has won 11 of his last 17 home games as a favorite. If the Marlins are going to be taken seriously in a competitive NL East, these are games they need to win at home with their ace on the mound. I'll lay the cheap price.
