team totals
Braves team total over 4.5 (-115)
-Sanchez has struggled of late giving up 6 runs in each of his last 2 starts. Sanchez and the Marlins defeated the braves 6-2 earlier this season. Sanchez pitched 6 innnings allowing 8 hits, 2 walks, 2 runs. Chipper Jones did not play this game as he was out. Sanchez also pitched against the braves on Sept 2, 2008. This game was played in Florida and the braves shelled Sanchez for 8 hits and 6 runs in just 3 innings. THe braves won the game 16-14 as they had the highest output for runs in the 2008 season.
The Marlins fell behind 8-4 after 3 innings yesterday. The starting pitcher for the Marlins, Taylor, gave up all 8 runs in 2.1 innings. After knocking out Taylor, the marlins relievers shut down the braves for the final 6.2 innings. I am predicting that the braves will score runs both against the starter (sanchez) and the marlin bullpen.
