The Braves continue to play extremely well and they are looking for the series sweep in this game. These two teams are first and second in the NL East, but Atlanta is pulling away. Atlanta is starting Spencer Strider, who has allowed two earned runs over his last 13.0 innings of work. Miami is starting Sandy Alcantara, who has allowed 1, 5, 5, 1, and 5 earned runs in his last five starts. The Braves have outplayed Miami so far this weekend and I like that to continue here. Take the Braves -1.5 in this matchup.
