The Marlins are going to shock the Braves in this game. Yes, the Braves should come in as the heavy favorite in the game here, but it will be difficult for them to pull out the win. That comes mainly from the fact that the Braves are putting Teheran on the mound and he has not really been that impressive this season, compared to the past. Look for his hitability to become a problem as the Marlins are able to play small ball and bring the runners home in a low scoring game. Final Score, Miami Marlins win 3-1.
