Lineup, how to watch the Atlanta Braves go for the series win against the Miami Marlins on Saturday afternoon

Well, that was fun!

Atlanta closed out June in dominating fashion, defeating Miami 16-4 last night in Michael Soroka's first game back in Atlanta since 2020, and first in front of the home fans since 2019. They hit six homeruns in the contest and all but one lineup regulars got a hit in the contest.

With the win, Atlanta set a record as the only team in MLB history to win 20+ games in a month with at least 55 home runs AND a batting average of .300 or better.

They look to keep the good times rolling, as they send Charlie Morton the mound in an attempt to secure the series victory on Saturday afternoon.

As usual, not a lot of changes to the lineup with this one. Sean Murphy gets a 2nd consecutive start behind the dish, batting 5th, while Marcell Ozuna is the DH and bats sixth with left fielder Eddie Rosario behind him, batting 7th.

Pitching Matchup for the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins on Saturday, July 1st

Atlanta's got veteran Charlie Morton on the bump this afternoon. 7-6 on the season with a 3.81 ERA in his fifteen starts, proven to be one of the more reliable options for the Braves season. He's struck out one hundred batters in his eighty-five innings, with a 10.6 K/9 that is remarkably consistent with the last two seasons in Atlanta (10.5 in 2021, 10.7 in 2022). He faced Miami at home on April 25th this season, earning the win with seven innings on three hit, one run ball with two walks and nine strikeouts.

Opposing Atlanta is young phenom Eury Perez. The 6'8 righthander is 5-1 in his nine starts on the season, with a 1.34 ERA. He's struck out fifty-four batters in his forty-seven innings, and is in the midst of an absolute heater: In the month of June, he's allowed one earned run in thirty innings (five starts) against the A's, White Sox, Mariners, Blue Jays, and Pirates. Perez allowed eighteen hits and five walks, but only one run (on a solo shot by Chicago's Yasmani Grandal) with thirty-five strikeouts. Can he keep the excellence going against the hottest offense in baseball?
