Atlanta Braves vs Miami Marlins Prediction

I might take a stab on the Marlins as a value play here. Cabrera hasn’t been pitching too badly over his last trio, even though he doesn’t have a decision to show for it. In that time Cabrera has posted 15.0 innings with six earned runs on 11 hits and 11 walks. If he can keep the free passes in check, Cabrera could start things off well here.

On Saturday the Marlins did a good job at coming back from their early deficit. Miami did use a lot of bullpen arms though, so they’ll need to be economical with the pitching Sunday. Still, it’s probably worth trying.
