Our prediction for this Marlins vs. Braves matchup is to take the Braves to win, but with a money line of -234, we recommend taking the over, with the line sitting at 9 runs. Our predicted final score is 6-4 in favor of the Braves, giving us plenty of wiggle room with the over/under line.

Looking at some of the projections for today’s starters, Ryan Weathers is someone we would stay away from, as his chances of picking up a win are second worst among today’s starters. Weathers is also projected to finish with just four strikeouts, and his chances of picking up a win are not great.
