ANALYSIS: Rarely will I lay this big of a price, but it's justified tonight in Atlanta. Also fine with a runline play. Not only did the Cardinals travel following Sunday Night Baseball, but the Braves have a significant pitching edge with Kyle Wright versus Dakota Hudson. Hudson is substantially worse on the road and gives up a ton of contact -- a bad recipe against the Braves. Atlanta averages 4.85 runs at home. Look for the Braves to beat the Cards for the fifth straight time.
ANALYSIS: Miami has won 11 of the past 12 meetings with Washington, and now it looks like the Nats won't have superstar outfielder Juan Soto after he left Sunday's game with a left calf injury. Energized by a stunning, ninth-inning comeback victory in St. Louis on Wednesday, the Marlins are aiming for their fifth straight win overall and trying to convince the front office they're a playoff contender, not an also-ran whose players should be shipped out at the trade deadline. Soto (15 homers) is to be re-evaluated Monday. Miami shortstop Miguel Rojas (13 of 32, 3 HRs, 1.219 OPS versus Patrick Corbin) could have a big Fourth of July.
ANALYSIS: This line has fallen and now there's value on the Marlins, who have won 10 of 11 against the Nats. They're going for four wins in a row overall since their shocking comeback victory on Wednesday in St. Louis. I like the pitching matchup with Pablo Lopez facing Erick Fedde, and the price is right.
