BETTING TRENDS

Atlanta are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games against Miami.

Atlanta are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games on the road.

Atlanta are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games when playing on the road against Miami.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Miami's last 5 games.

Miami are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Miami's last 6 games at home.

 

Prediction

The Braves couldn't do much against a great performance from Luzardo and the Marlins bullpen who held them to zero runs in the game. For this game the Marlins will send Garrett to the mound who has been decent lately and the Marlins have won in his last 3 starts. Odorizzi will take the mound for the Braves who has been up and down this season but has good numbers vs Marlins. The under is cashing big time for the Marlins and with the Braves mind in the playoffs I think the best play is the under.

PICK: Under 8.5 (-110)
