Miami Marlins vs. Atlanta Braves Prediction
This Miami lineup has been down right awful against left-handed pitchers this season. They have the largest sample size with 369 plate appearances against left-handed pitchers and have the second lowest wRC+ (54).
The last six opposing left-handed starters that faced the Marlins all recorded 18+ outs which includes Fried who went 6.1 innings against them and in just 84 pitches. In that start, he gave up four hits and allowed 1 earned run. Miami averages the fourth fewest pitches per plate appearance (3.84) which allows pitchers' to keep their pitch count in check and work late in games.
Max Fried hasn't been the sharpest but we've seen him have success against this lineup once already this season and I expect that to be the case again today. Consider taking the over on his 17.5 pitching outs.
