Miami Marlins (22-28) and Atlanta Braves (34-16) will wrap up their four-game series on Thursday night at LoanDepot Park. The Marlins opened this series strongly after blowing away the Braves 12-0. It was a historic win for the Marlins, who set a franchise record for the highest run differential at home. However, they failed to build on that win after dropping back-to-back matches, including a 9-1 defeat on Wednesday night. They remain a threat at home, though.

Atlanta Braves, meanwhile, entered this series with the most victories in the Majors. The Braves once again showed that they don’t dwell on losses, recovering from the opening day defeat with two convincing wins. Chris Sale did a splendid job on Wednesday, allowing just a single run while striking out eight over seven innings. Dominic Smith and Austin Riley also had 3-run homers to hand the tiebreaker to the Braves. The Braves have lived up to expectations so far.

Our Miami Marlins vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

Atlanta Braves are the -145 betting favorites. They didn’t crumble after the opening-day defeat and will be feeling confident ahead of tonight’s matchup. The Braves are in red-hot form at the moment, winning four of their last five matches. They also have a strong 18-8 on the road this season. However, the Marlins will be looking to maximize their home momentum to win this game. They’ll start the dependable Sandy Alcantara, who has a 3-2 record with a solid 3.53 ERA. The Braves will counter that with Spencer Strider, who has a 2.45 ERA and a 1-0 record this season. As usual, Atlanta will be keen to punish any lapses by Alcantara and end this series strongly.

Our prediction for Miami Marlins vs Atlanta Braves: Over 7.5 runs.
