Prediction

Braves 6 Marlins 4

Moneyline

Miami might be a moderate lean with an undervalued starter on the mound. But Hoeing and the fish tank full of question marks around him tilt the scales out of profit’s reach PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

No lean on a side just on a couple or few extra runs being scored PASS.

Over/Under

The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 series meetings in Atlanta.

Both clubs figure as being a couple games too far out over their skis and unsustainable run prevention is close to the heart of each situation.

Hoeing likely cannot be counted on for much. Morton has run into a lot of contact so far and much of has been of the loud variety. The Atlanta bullpen also has cruised along with some generous rates around the margins.

On offense the Braves have scored 5.29 runs per game with an .818 OPS over their last 7 games at home.

Consider a partial-unit play on the OVER 8.5 (-120).
