THE INSIDERS ROOM'S 10* N.L. BLOWOUT (OFF THREE STRAIGHT 4-1 CARDS!)
(MLB) Miami vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -128.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* NL BLOWOUT on the Atlanta Braves.

It's difficult to sweep a team and I don't think the Marlins have what it takes to accomplish that feat. Miami has taken the first two games of this series, but it hasn't swept the Braves in a series since 2015 and I don't expect that trend of futility to change today.

I think Atlanta comes out focused here though as it's lead in the NL East is only 1.5 now over Philly and 2.5 over the Marlins.

Pablo Lopez (3-3, 3.05 ERA) has been decent for Miami and he enters having gone 1-3 with a 3.44 ERA lifetime vs. the Braves.

However note that the Fish are a poor 3-8 in their last 11 after a two-games or longer win streak.

Tommy Milone (1-4, 5.30) comes in off a strong start vs. the Nationals, allowing one run over four innings. He threw 65 pitches, 43 for strikes and I like the veteran to build off that performance.

The Braves are 9-4 in their last 13 after back-to-back NL home losses and I think they dig deep and find a way to get the job done here.

Lay the price, the play is Atlanta!

Good luck, NP
