The Atlanta Braves look to sweep away the Miami Marlins on Thursday night.

The Braves have now won seven games in a row, including a four-game sweep of the Nationals to start their homestand.

Meanwhile, Miami has come back down to earth after winning six of seven against the Phillies and Mets.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Marlins vs. Braves on Thursday, Aug. 6.

Marlins vs. Braves Best MLB Prop Bets

Marlins Best MLB Prop Bet

Janson Junk UNDER 15.5 Outs (-118)

Janson Junk has only pitched 78.2 innings in 15 starts this year, averaging just over five innings per outing. However, since returning from the injured list last month, he’s completed 18.2 innings in four starts, going UNDER 15.5 outs in each game.

I don’t see Junk being able to go much longer than four or five innings tonight in Atlanta.

Marlins vs. Braves Prediction and Pick

I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:

The Braves swept the Nats in a four-game series to start their homestand, and can now close it out with a sweep of the Marlins. They’ve won seven games in a row: all six on this homestand and their final game in New York against the Mets.

Miami has had some success recently, but that was against a struggling Phillies squad and the lowly Mets.

The Braves tagged Janson Junk for eight runs in five innings back in May, and Martin Perez allowed just one hit in seven shutout innings last time out.

To top it all off, the Braves are 38-20 at home while the Marlins are 24-34 on the road – and the Fish are just 11-16 vs. LHP this season.

Pick: Braves -140
