Two struggling teams will take Turner Field Monday night when the Atlanta Braves host the Miami Marlins. The Braves have been swept in three of their last four series and were outscored 38-11 in three losses to the Yankees over the weekend. They swept a three-game set at Miami at the start of the month though and they must be poised to give the home-town crowd something to cheer for tonight after the weekends fiasco.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Fish hand the ball to Chris Narveson (1-1, 7.04 ERA) who'll make his eight appearance of the season. He was torched for seven runs on eight hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings of a 7-2 home loss to Pittsburgh on August 26 in his first major league start since 2012. The Braves will counter with Mike Foltynewicz (4-6, 5.71) who held the Marlins to two runs on five hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings of a 7-2 win on August 8. He's lost each of his last three starts but can hardly be blamed for the 5-1 home-loss to the Rockies his last start when he conceded four runs, but no earned, over five innings.

2. Previous Meetings - The Braves have won 10 of the last 13 meetings with the Fish who are 2-8 in their last 10 overall. The Braves are looking good to keep up that dominance here winning 14 of their last 20 home games versus a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

3. X-Factor - Adonis Garcia is 9-for-18 with a double and two home-runs in his last four games.

Selection: This is a play on the Atlanta Braves (10*)
