Atlanta Braves
In the upcoming series against the Marlins, Charlie Morton will pitch the first game after a solid performance in his last outing against the Dodgers. He has recorded consecutive quality starts for the first time since July and has an impressive 2.68 ERA over his last seven starts. With a 4.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 161:59 K: BB in 155 innings, Morton has a good chance to continue his success against a struggling Marlins team. The Braves, currently two games behind the Mets for the final wildcard spot, see this series as an opportunity to close the gap and improve their playoff chances. Despite being ranked 16th in offense, the Braves boast the second-best defense in the league, allowing an average of 3.82 runs per game. With a 83-70 record, time is running out for the Braves to make a push for the postseason.
