This is a stop-the-pain game for the Marlins and a favorable matchup for them.

Miami has dropped four in a row. But the Marlins have the superior starter going in Dan Straily against Sean Newcomb and ripe circumstances.

The Braves aren't playing that well either. They are 16 games under .500 and in full rebuild mode with three-fourths of their infield manned by rookies. Atlanta just played a wild doubleheader on Wednesday splitting against the Rangers with a combined 29 runs being scored. It's left the Braves bullpen carrying a high fatigue rating.

Newcomb doesn't go deep into games and walks too many batters averaging six bases on balls per nine innings. Newcomb hasn't been able to record an out past the fifth inning during his last three starts. Atlanta is 2-9 in his last 11 starts.

Home run leader Gincarlo Stanton loves Atlanta's Sun Trust Park having homered three times there in six games.

Straily should do his part. He's 2-1 with a 2.12 ERA in three starts versus the Braves this season.
