The Marlins are coming into this game with a 18-24 record overall and they are 8-12 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak. They just lost their 2-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays getting swept 2-0, had Thursday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Braves on Friday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Friday. Cody Poteet was the starting pitcher for them on Wednesday while Trevor Rogers is on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 2-5 with a 5.20 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 5 ER, 3 HRs, and 2 BB with 5 Ks on 8 hits in 4 IP against the Atlanta Braves. They scored 4 runs in their last series averaging 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 9 runs against them averaging 4.5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Braves are coming into this game with a 21-23 record overall and they are 12-12 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Miami Marlins 2-1 and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Marlins on Friday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Friday with the series finale of their series with the Philadelphia Phillies still to be played on Thursday. Kyle Wright is the starting pitcher for them on Thursday while Ian Anderson will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 3-3 with a 4.07 ERA this season. His team lost their last 2 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 4 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 6 strikeouts on 7 hits in 6 innings played against the Miami Marlins. They scored 17 runs in their last series averaging just over 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 16 runs against them averaging just over 5 runs allowed per game with the final game of that series still to be played.

 

The Braves are coming into this game starting to heat up in their recent games as they have been winning more recently. They are at home for this series where they have been playing well this season and they are starting to hit the ball much better and score more runs than they were at the beginning of the season. They are going up against a Marlins side that is in the middle of a slump right now and just got swept by the Rays in their last series. The Marlins have not been playing well at all recently and they have Rogers starting here who has been having an awful season. Anderson is starting for the Braves here and he has not been great recently but he has not been bad either and has been much better than Rogers this season. Anderson was pitching very well at the beginning of the season and he is more likely to bounce back here and start pitching better in his starts than Rogers who has been bad all season. The Braves also have a good bullpen and between their pitching and hitting recently, they should have no trouble winning this game. The best bet here is on the Braves to win this game.
