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 have won six in a row after taking the series opener 4-2 last night. They’re now 37-20 at home, while Miami is just 24-33 on the road.

The Fish had a hot stretch against a struggling Phillies squad and the lowly Mets, but Atlanta is a different story.

Eury Perez has been good for the Marlins, but Bryce Elder has held his own for the Braves as well.

The Braves took three of four from Miami back in May, and have won six of eight meetings this season. They deserve to be bigger favorites at home tonight.

Pick: Braves -122
