Eury Pérez threw a nine-inning shutout for Miami on Friday, and Atlanta answered with an 8-3 win yesterday. This series has already shown both faces, and today's matchup points to the first one. Janson Junk comes in off five scoreless innings on the road against the Cubs, who lead the majors in runs per game. He has a 4.31 ERA on the season. JR Ritchie was sharp in his last turn too, allowing one run over five innings with eight strikeouts against Cincinnati. His walks are the risk here: he has 41 in 67.2 innings. But a Marlins lineup that has scored 10 runs over its last four games isn't built to cash in on free passes. Atlanta has its division won and its seed settled. It also has the depth to cover the late innings, with a staff that ranks fifth in ERA and a bullpen at 3.44. Give me the UNDER this afternoon.

Miami at Atlanta
7:15 PM Eastern
Atlanta has reeled off six straight, and Bryce Elder starts today. Over his last five starts, he has been touched for multiple runs three times, including a four-inning, five-run meltdown against San Francisco in late June, and his 3.84 ERA sits ahead of Eury Pérez's mark by less than half a run even with Pérez sitting on two fewer wins. That win total says nothing about how Pérez has actually pitched: across his last three outings, he has allowed four earned runs total, working at least six innings every time out. Atlanta's offense carried the load again in that opener, and a Miami lineup hitting .250 as a team has enough contact in it to turn one of Elder's shaky middle innings into a problem tonight. The gap between these two arms is thinner than the gap in the price. Back the Marlins.
