Game Preview
The Atlanta Braves, trailing in the wild card race, aim to dominate the last-place Miami Marlins in a weekend series.
The Marlins (56-97), at the bottom of the National League, are facing an Atlanta team (83-70) that has won seven of ten matchups this year.
Friday’s game pits seasoned Braves right-hander Charlie Morton against Marlins rookie Valente Bellozo in a stark matchup. Morton (8-8), nearing 41, has maintained a 4.01 ERA this season, reflective of his career performance across 17 years.
Bellozo (2-4, 3.70 ERA), on the other hand, advanced from rookie ball to Class A just last year, and Miami has a modest 5-6 record in his starts. Bellozo’s earlier encounter with the Braves this season ended in a no-decision, despite a decent performance.
While the Braves have a losing record of 13-15 in Morton’s starts this season, he has shown resilience against the Marlins, earning a 1-0 record and a 4.63 ERA in two starts this year.
Morton’s experience shows in his lifetime 14-6 record and 3.98 ERA against Miami, with September marking his best month this season, boasting a 2.04 ERA.
Atlanta enters the series on a high note, having overwhelmingly outscored the Reds in their last two games.
Marcell Ozuna, a former Marlins player, leads the Braves’ charge with significant hitting power this year, following a sharp rebound from underwhelming performances in 2021 and 2022.
Despite cooling off in September, Ozuna has had a strong season, and the Braves anticipate the return of key player Ozzie Albies from injury.
The Marlins, far from playoff contention, are evaluating their young roster, including Jonah Bride, who has shown promise with disciplined hitting and a competitive approach.
Under the guidance of manager Skip Schumaker, the team is focused on building experience and resilience among its young talents.
