The Marlins’ starter Trevor Rogers, despite showing so well as a rookie, is off to a poor start: 2 game started, 6+innings total pitched, 12.15 ERA. Sophomore jinx or slow start? Pitching mechanics appear to be involved, so maybe no quick fix?

The Braves are starting Kyle Wright for the third time. Wright broke through in the playoffs last year, and followed that success with a fine start in 2022. He has 2 wins, a 1.64 ERA and a ton of strike-outs. The Braves’ bull pen is middling at the moment; advantage goes to the Marlins in relief.

While the Braves batters haven’t really found their form, I have more faith in their bats than the Marlins for offense. Wright is coming in to this game full of confidence. Look for him to have another fine outing. I am wagering on Atlanta to win.
