Free MLB Pick
The Braves are starting to score some runs putting six or more on the board in four of their last six matches. In comes Tom Koehler to start for Miami and he’s pitched pretty well overall against Atlanta with 5 Q starts in eight lifetime starts against them. However, the Marlins won only two of those starts mainly because of a lack of run support. That’s been a problem all season for Miami scoring a MLB low 394 runs this season. Atlanta has won nine of the 11 meetings this season and five straight. We’re betting that it will be six straight after tonight.
