Braves vs. Marlins Best Prop Bet

Otto Lopez OVER 1.5 Total Bases (+134)

Otto Lopez has been fantastic when facing left-handed pitchers this season. His batting average improves from .292 against right-handed pitchers to a blistering .481 against left-handed pitchers. Let's bet on that continuing tonight when he and the Marlins face a lefty in Chris Sale tonight.

Braves vs. Marlins Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Betting $100 Every Day for a Year, I wrote about why I'm going to take a chance betting on the Marlins to win as home underdogs:

I wouldn't be surprised if we see some level of regression from Chris Sale, who is getting the start for the Braves tonight. He has a 1.96 ERA, but a 3.24 FIP, which tells me he hasn't pitched as well as his ERA would indicate. Tonight, he'll face a Marlins team that has been solid against left-handed pitchers this season. Their OPS improves from .700 when facing righties to .715 when facing lefties.

Let's take a shot on them pulling off the upset as home underdogs tonight.

Pick: Marlins +162 via Caesars
