Though the sample size is limited, Edward Cabrera has had success against the Braves’ lineup in the past, limiting them to a .160 batting average and .222 OBP across 25 at-bats. Cabrera had a rough beginning to the season, giving up six runs in just 6 2/3 innings and walking an alarming 13 batters. However, he has demonstrated a significant improvement in control during his last two appearances, walking only three batters and striking out 12 over 11 innings, allowing just two runs in each game.

The Braves will start Spencer Strider, who has conceded a total of six runs in his four starts this season, including two shutout performances. Strider boasts an impressive 2.45 ERA and 1.05 WHIP.

Both teams have struggled offensively in recent matches. Atlanta has only managed to score a cumulative five runs in their last three games, while Miami has consistently played to the “Under” in nine consecutive matches before their most recent game. This trend can be attributed to a mix of strong pitching and lackluster hitting (with Miami scoring more than four runs in just one of their last eight games). Given this context, I recommend taking the Under 8. Question: Do you live bet games? If so, we highly recommend checking out Bovada Sportsbook’s live betting platform! It blows away the rest!
