In contrast, the Braves have a potent offense, hitting to a fourth-best wRC+ of 115 and generating runs at an elite rate of 5.2 per game. Elder’s overperformance compared to his underlying numbers makes him a clear fade candidate.
Overall, it is likely that the Braves will have the upper hand in this matchup, and the total is expected to soar over a relatively low total of eight. While Alcantara may improve later in the season, it may not be in this game against the Braves’ strong offense.
The Miami Marlins have not had their best season and have already accumulated 4 consecutive losses. In the series against the Braves they have shown a poor performance and the 11-0 loss was a reflection of this. On the other hand, the Braves will be looking to make the series 3-0 after losing 4 consecutive games against San Diego and Houston. We will see if they can keep up their good performance in a game where the oddsmakers have them as favorites.
