Marlins vs. Braves Prediction and Best Bet

In today's edition of Betting $100 Every Day for a Year, I broke down why I'm betting on the Braves as home favorites:

Ryan Gusto gets the start for the Marlins tonight, and he has an ERA of 5.31 on the season and is coming off a performance where he allowed six earned runs against the Phillies. He has been solid as a reliever this season, but it's been disastrous when he starts. Tonight, he has to face a Braves team that's seventh in the Majors in wRC+ over the past 30 days. The Braves should be much bigger favorites at home tonight.

Pick: Braves -138 via FanDuel
