Odds
Atlanta is a -265 home favorite while Miami is a +225 road underdog. The total for this game is set at 7.5 runs.
Starting Pitching Matchup
Edward Cabrera will start for the Marlins here and is 1-1 with a 4.08 ERA and 18 strikeouts this season. Spencer Strider will start for Atlanta and is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA and 36 strikeouts this season.
Matchup History
Miami’s 12-9 win on October 5th, 2022, made it four straight meetings without back-to-back winners in this head-to-head matchup.
Trends
Miami is 8-3 in their last 11 games overall and 14-32 in their last 46 division games while the under is 7-0 in their last 7 games against a team with a right-handed starter. Atlanta is 47-19 in their last 66 home games and 38-17 in their last 55 series-opening games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss.
Pick
I’m looking at the under here. I think this could easily end up being a pitcher’s duel as Strider has fantastic strikeout stuff, striking out 9 in each of his first four starts this season, while Cabrera had a 1.49 road ERA in seven starts away from LoanDepot Park last year. I think this has under written all over it, so give me the under here.
