The Miami Marlins (6-17) and Atlanta Braves (14-6) square off for another three-game series, with game one of this battle coming up on Monday, April 22 at 7:20 PM ET at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia. The Braves are favored with a run line at -1.5 (-115).

The Marlins aim to extend their winning success after landing a 6-3 triumph over the Chicago Cubs in their latest battle. They are 2-3 in their last five games but have solid momentum coming into this one.

They have one of their best shots at winning with Ryan Weathers (2-1) on the mound. He currently showcases a 2.70 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP, which compares well on paper to his adversary on the other team.

They need players who consistently stimulate that offense if they want a shot at success here. Jake Burger could be that player to boost them, as he leads them with 15 RBIs.

The Marlins' batting average is only .220, which must change drastically. Their defense struggles to allow their opponents to bat .261 comfortably, making this negative ratio at the plate tough to overcome.

The Braves are 4-1 in their last five matchups and are coming off a 6-4 loss to the Texas Rangers. This defeat snapped their previous six-game win streak.

Bryce Elder gets his first start this season, and it will be interesting to see if he can come out strong. Last season, he averaged a 3.81 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP, which puts him below their team ERA average of 4.30 and in a position to succeed.

Their offense is fueled by Marcell Ozuna, who leads them with nine home runs, 27 RBIs, and a batting average of .338. If he has a good day at the plate, the Braves have a good opportunity for success.

The Braves boast a batting average of .283, allowing their opponents to put up .244. They can usually afford a slightly weaker defense as long as their offense stays strong.

MyBookie gives the Atlanta Braves an edge in this matchup, especially since both teams have had considerable differences in their respective performances thus far. Market insights give the Braves an 80.9 percent chance to win, considerably boosting their prospects.

The Marlins' one edge is their starter pitching, which could help them sustain a close game through the first five innings. However, the Braves are too strong here and will likely win by at least two runs.
