The Atlanta Braves head to Miami riding a three-game win streak as they open a weekend series against the Marlins, who have lost four of their last six, tonight at loanDepot Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET.
Atlanta (34–39) completed a sweep of the Mets yesterday with a 7–1 win. Matt Olson homered for the second time in three games to now lead the team with 15 on the season, going with 48 RBIs.
Miami (29–44) dropped two of three to the Phillies, including a 2–1 loss Thursday in which the Marlins managed just five hits. Kyle Stowers, who leads the team with 10 homers and 34 RBIs, flied out to left field in a pinch-hitting appearance.
Janson Junk (1–0, 2.78 ERA) will take the mound for Miami, making his first start after five lengthy relief appearances this season. He'll face Braves right-hander Didier Fuentes, who is making his MLB debut.

Braves vs Marlins Predictions and Picks
"Ronald Acuna Jr. continues to be one of the best players in the league. But, the rest of the Braves offense hasn't been able to help Acuna and find ways to win .... The Marlins will have the upper hand in this outing. Miami's Janson Junk has pitched well when coming in relief. He has pitched long distances, too, going no fewer than four innings each outing. The Marlins are also hitting .274 against the NL East this season. They have the offensive power to score enough runs in this one outing to defeat their divisional rival — Liam Keating, Winners and Whiners
"It has been a rocky start for the Atlanta Braves this season .... Eury Perez and the Marlins provide a perfect remedy for that. Miami has lost six of its last seven home games, and they are scuffling with a 29-43 record. They are near the bottom of MLB in staff ERA, WHIP, and K/9. Perez failed to register a strikeout last week after accumulating five in his debut .... I think the Braves tag him for a couple of longballs and come out with a win. Take them by two." — Jason Raffoul, Statsalt
"This matchup is as even as it gets with both pitchers posting similar numbers recently, but the offense of Miami will be too much to overcome. Look for Jazz Chisholm Jr to continue to make his presence known by ripping the cover off the ball, as he went 5-11 with a double, a triple, one home run, and three runs batted in against Washington over the past few days. It is wise to put your money on the Marlins covering the +1.5 run spread." — Griffin Conant, ClutchPoints
