Money line (ML)
The MARLINS (+110) are a decent play as short ‘dogs in this middle game after losing a heartbreaker in the series opener Friday, 1-0. They’re a respectable 5-3 against the Braves (-135) this season including winning three of four at Truist Park April 12-15.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The MARLINS +1.5 (-175) are not super expensive if you aren’t quite feeling them straight up and would like a little insurance. Five of their past nine losses have been by one run.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 9 (-115) is the slight lean in this one. The Under has connected in four of the past five for Miami, and the Under is an impressive 6-1-1 in the past eight overall for Atlanta.
