Pre-game buzz
Rubbing off the Marlins is a mistake. They have been competitive and are placed third in the NL East. They will be starting off with Jose Urena making his season debut after being on the Covid-19 list. His 2019 was quite forgettable with a 5.21 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP. His records against the Braves isn't much of an impact either with a 2-8 record and 6.60 ERA. However, in Garret Cooper, they have a player capable of turning things around. He's got two dingers to his name and is hitting .270.
The Braves will look to consolidate their position at the top of the standings. Ian Anderson will be starting for them and in Marcell Ozuna, they have a hitter who has set the season ablaze with some crisp thwacking. He's got five homers with 13 RBI's in his last six games and the Braves will be hoping he blams a few more out of the park.
Who will win?
The Braves come in as the team favored to win this. In Anderson, they have a pitcher with a great run so far. The Marlins can play spoilsport but the Braves with a better form record might take this away.
