8* play on Miami Marlins.

After losing their first nine games of the season, the Braves have come to Miami and won back-to-back games in this series versus the Marlins. The series wraps up this afternoon, and I expect the Fish to avoid a sweep with a win in Game 3.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - Jarred Cosart will make his second start of the season for the Fish, and he was solid in his debut. He allowed three runs on four hits over 4 2/3 innings in a 10-3 win over the Mets. The Braves will counter with Jhoulys Chacin, who only started four major league games last year.

2. Giancarlo Stanton - Miami's slugger is off to a slow start, but he's been far better at Marlin's Park than he has been on the road in his career. Since 2013 he's hit .300 with 52 home runs at home, and just .240 with 36 homers on the road.

3. X-Factor - The Braves are 11-41 in their last 52 road games.

Selection: This is a play on the Miami Marlins (8*)
