Marlins Expected to Cover Run Line in Monday's Game with Weathers on the Mound

It is anticipated that the Marlins will successfully cover the run line in Monday's game with Weathers as the starting pitcher. As a young left-handed pitcher, Weathers has shown significant development in his performance during the 2024 season compared to his earlier years in the league. With four seasons of experience in Major League Baseball at just 24 years old, Weathers has demonstrated his skills on the mound. The Braves have displayed strong statistics when facing both left-handed and right-handed pitchers, but they have shown slightly less success against left-handed pitchers. Additionally, Weathers performed well in his previous start against the Braves last season, allowing only two runs in 6.0 innings. Given the Marlins' recent success and the absence of the Braves' top pitchers in the upcoming game, it is likely that they will perform competitively at the plate, resulting in a close enough score to cover the run line.
