Braves vs. Marlins Prediction and Best Bets
The Atlanta Braves are playing a season-ending series in Miami. They need to avoid a sweep to wrap up a fifth straight NL East title. Miami won 4-0 last night behind Jesus Luzardo’s six shutout innings and 12 strikeouts and Bryan de la Cruz's three hits and three RBI.
Jake Odorizzi and Braxon Garrett are the Braves and the Marlins' starting pitchers.
The Braves are 3-6 in Jake Odorizzi's nine starts. He has pitched five or more innings only three times. Last month, he didn't make it through five full innings in any of his four starts, three of which the Braves lost.
