Overview
- Eury Pérez (4-3, 2.70 ERA) will start for Miami against veteran Carlos Carrasco (2-2, 5.68 ERA) at 7:15 p.m. EDT Thursday in Atlanta.
- Miami holds a 3-2 advantage over Atlanta in the season series entering their sixth matchup.
- Xavier Edwards’ four-hit performance on Wednesday underlines the Marlins’ offensive spark despite their sub-.500 record.
- Both clubs sit under .500 with Miami at 56-57 (28-26 on the road) and Atlanta at 47-66 (26-29 at home).
- Betting lines favor a low-scoring outcome with an 8½-run over/under and heavy action on Pérez’s strikeout props after he recorded six or more strikeouts in five of his 10 starts.
