The Atlanta Braves (100-60) and Miami Marlins (68-92) play the second game of a 3-game set Tuesday at loanDepot park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Braves vs. Marlins odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Braves lead 12-5
The Braves missed their chance to clinch their 5th consecutive NL East title in a 4-0 loss at the Marlins Monday. Atlanta entered Monday off of a 3-game sweep over the New York Mets at Truist Park. The Braves need a win or a Mets loss to secure the division crown and a 1st-round playoff bye.
Marlins OF Bryan De La Cruz went 3-for-4 and hit a 2-run HR in the 3rd inning Monday. Miami starter LHP Jesús Luzardo allowed 0 ER on 4 H with 12 K through 6 IP in the win. The Marlins shut out the Braves for the 1st time since Sept. 8, 2020.

Braves at Marlins picks and predictions
Prediction
Braves 4, Marlins 1
Moneyline
PASS.
Braves (-165) moneyline will probably hit, but the price is a little high. The run line and total present better opportunities.
Run line/Against the spread
BET BRAVES -1.5 (+100).
The Braves should be extra focused to clinch their 5th-straight NL East title Tuesday. Expect Atlanta to bounce back and win by multiple runs after getting shut out Monday as a -182 road favorite.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 7.5 (+100).
The Under is 6-1 in Atlanta’s last 7 road games vs. teams with a losing record and 4-0-1 in Miami’s last 5 games overall. The Marlins are 28th in MLB in runs per game (3.58) and rely on solid pitching to stay competitive. Garrett on the mound combined with Miami’s offensive struggles should help this game stay Under the total.
