Atlanta Braves vs Miami Marlins Prediction

The Miami Marlins are hard to trust these days, considering they traded away half their roster and the majority of their top offensive players. Max Meyer also doesn’t have the sample size as a starter to trust, especially on the road. If the Atlanta Braves are serious about getting the top wild card spot at the very least these are Games they need to take advantage of. Charlie Morton has been respectable this season, and he’s even better when he’s got it going. Again, the Braves can’t afford Games like this to slip away. Give me the Braves and the RL for max betting value.
