Prediction
Marlins 8, Braves 5
Moneyline (ML)
The Marlins (+110) beat the Braves 5-4 in extra innings Monday, tying the season series, 2-2. The Braves (-121) have lost three of their last four games but had a five-game win streak prior to this recent stretch.
Despite losing his last outing, Sanchez has two quality starts in just three career starts and Wright has only completed four innings in one start this season. For whatever reason, the Marlins have played much better on the road (16-9) compared to home (2-9).
Also, BetMGM pricing this as evenly as they did should be an indication of why this is a good spot for Miami. Atlanta came into this season, and is playing like, the better team — yet Miami has a 48% implied win probability based on the moneyline.
BET MARLINS (+110). New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Marlins (+110) earns an $11 profit if Miami beats Atlanta.
Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
PASS ON THE RUN LINE. I am not confident enough in Miami to lay all the vig in betting Marlins +1.5 (-189). Plus the alternate run line of Marlins -1.5 (+155) isn’t profitable for me.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 9 (-121) is being steamed up because the sharps see runs being scored in Marlins-Braves. For as good as Sanchez has looked he’s still just a rookie and he’s going against a top-notch Atlanta lineup. The Marlins have a 12-8-1 Over/Under record in road games and the Braves are 11-8-2 O/U at home.
