The Miami Marlins sit 3 games back of the NL East leading Atlanta Braves and will have a chance to gain some ground when they open a 4-game series with the Braves tonight at Truist Park. The probable pitchers do not warrant much discussion. Lefty Trevor Rogers is expected to get the nod for the Marlins. Rogers is 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP. On the flip side, the Braves are expected to have Huascar Ynoa on the hill. Ynoa is 0-0 with a 5.30 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP but was sharp in his last turn against Baltimore, where he pitched 4 scoreless innings and yielded just 2 hits. Atlanta has won 23 of the last 30 at home against Miami and annihilated the Marlins in their last meeting on September 9th, 29-9.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ATLANTA BRAVES
