The Atlanta Braves and the Miami Marlins will play the rubber game of their 3-game set tonight at Truist Park. The Braves evened the score last night with a come-from-behind 6-5 victory. Tonight the Marlins are expected to send Chris Paddack to the hill and the Braves’ potent offense is licking their chops. Paddack is winless at 0-2 with a 6.14 ERA, a 1.57 WHIP, and that is not good. The Braves are expected to hand the ball to Bryce Elder, who has been in the zone. Elder is 1-1 with a 1.02 ERA and a WHIP to match at 1.02. This Atlanta team is really good. They have the lowest team ERA in the majors at 2.92. They are fourth in the league in runs scored, second in run differential, second in batting average, and third in hits. That is a recipe for winning.
