The Braves would like to win some more games against a very weak Marlins team and that is a distinct possibility here. However, one thing that the Braves have to do is avoid becoming over confident in the game here. One aspect that could help the Braves out quite a bit in this game here is the fact that the team is 12 games over the five hundred mark when playing on the road so far this year.

With the Marlins the team has not been at the top of their game this year. In fact, the Marlins are coming into the game to face the division leader here 28 games under the five hundred mark. What else does not help the Marlins out is the fact they are now 12 games under the five hundred mark when playing at home this season.
Mike Soroka is the pitcher the Braves are planning on putting on the mound in this game here. Soroka has been able to post a 10-2 record and a 2.45 ERA so far. He has thrown a total of 121 innings with 97 strikeouts, but has walked 29 batters and allowed only 105 hits this year.

The Marlins are countering with Sandy Alcantara on the mound. Alcantara has been able to post a 4-10 record and a 4.50 ERA so far this year. Alcantara has thrown 128 innings on the season with 93 strikeouts, but has walked 63 batters and allowed 125 hits on the year.

The Marlins have managed to play decent on the season at times, but facing Soroka it is going to be a major struggle for the team. Look for the Marlins offense to have some problems scoring as Soroka shuts them down and guarantees the Braves a win in this game here. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Braves win 5-0.
