Atlanta Braves vs. Miami Marlins preview
Miami visits Truist Park riding a hot streak, having won six of their last eight games while desperately chasing the final NL wild card spot just six games back.
The Braves enter in rough form with losses in six of their last eight contests, including seven defeats in their last nine home games as their season continues to slip away.
Edward Cabrera takes the mound for Miami fresh off a dominant six-inning performance against the Yankees, surrendering just one run while the Marlins' offense has been clicking lately.
Atlanta counters with Bryce Elder, who's been getting roughed up consistently this season with a 6.03 ERA and has allowed 17 runs in his last three starts at Truist Park.
The Marlins have owned this matchup recently, taking six of the last 10 meetings between these division rivals, and they'll look to capitalize on Atlanta's shaky pitching staff.
With Miami's playoff hopes hanging in the balance and Atlanta's bullpen ranking among the worst in save percentage at just 51.5%, this Friday night clash could set the tone for the entire weekend series.
