The Braves have won seven of their last eight games, six by multiple runs, and they've won three of their four games against the Marlins this year by at least two runs. This is a good spot for Max Fried to find success after an uneven start to the year, as he has pitched well in recent years against this team. The Marlins have played 24 games and lost 15 by multiple runs (including all four Trevor Rogers starts despite his solid 3.92 ERA), so it's reasonable to expect the same on the road against one of the best teams in MLB.
The slow start to the season has been surprising with the power numbers way down. No signs of an injury, though, and this Marlins series seems like a great time to get things going. Trevor Rogers has struggled to get the MVP out, and I came very close to calling a HR here despite Acuna only having one so far. I'm feeling a leadoff double, and this Miami pathetic bullpen will afford us some chances in the late innings as well.
