Marlins vs. Braves Set-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Miami took the opener of this series Monday 5-4, then won Tuesday 8-0. The Marlins won as +200 dogs Monday, then at +105 Tuesday. With Tuesday's victory Miami is 3-1 over its last four games. With Tuesday's loss Atlanta is just 1-4 over its last five games. At 24-18 overall the Braves' lead in the NL East is down to 1.5 games over second-place Philadelphia. At 19-18 overall the Marlins trail Atlanta by just 2.5 games in the NL East, and they're tied with St. Louis and San Francisco for the No. 7 spot in the National League, which is good for a playoff spot this season. Miami went off this season playing against a wins over/under of just 24.5, lowest in the National League. So they only need six more wins over their last 23 games to play over that figure. The Marlins lead the season series with Atlanta three games to two.

<h2>
Wednesday's Starting Arms<br />
</h2>
<p>
Lefty Milone is making his third for his new team, after coming over in a trade with Baltimore. On the season he's 2/8 on quality starts, and 0 for his last three. Last Friday he held Washington to one run and six hits through four innings of a 7-1 Atlanta victory. But in his first start for the Braves he got bombed by Philadelphia for seven runs in less than three innings, although Atlanta eventually won that game 12-10. The Orioles played 2-4 with Milone this season, while Atlanta is 2-0 with him. Also, the overs are 4-3 with Milone this year. This will be Milone's first start against Miami since 2018, when as a member of the Washington Nationals he gave up three runs and eight hits through five frames of a 10-3 Nats win. Lopez is 3/7 on quality starts this season, looking to bounce back after a poor outing last time out, when he gave up five runs and five hits through four innings of a 5-4 Marlins loss to Tampa Bay. But over his first six starts of this season he allowed 12 runs – eight earned – and 33 hits through 34 1/3 innings. On the season Miami is 3-4 with Lopez, with the overs going 4-3. Over his last four starts against the Braves, three last year and one last month, Lopez allowed seven runs and 21 hits through 23 innings, with three walks against 26 strikeouts. The Marlins lost three of those four games but that certainly wasn't his fault.
