The Braves are putting Soroka on the mound and he has been very difficult to slow down this year. Look for the Braves to be able to control this game rather easily as Soroka shuts down the Marlins lackluster offense in this game. The Braves offense, though, will actually have a good game as well as the Marlins pitching staff could have some problems slowing down the Braves offense. Final Score, Atlanta Braves win 7-2.
