Since when should the Braves ever be backed laying a price? The answer is against the Marlins with Julio Teheran pitching at home against Tom Koehler with the Marlins possibly missing their two best all-around hitters again.

That's the case in this matchup.

The Braves are the worst team in baseball losers of 34 of 48 games. But they own the Marlins beating them in all five games.

This spot sets up well for Atlanta to continue its Miami mastery. Koehler always has been a much worse pitcher on the road. His away ERA is horrible again this season at 5.13. Koehler is enduring a rough month with a 5.00 ERA. The Marlins are 0-5 in his May starts.

Those Atlanta players who have faced Koehler have a combined .370 batting average against him. The Braves are 8-3 lifetime against Koehler.

Teheran is quietly having a monster turnaround posting a 0.89 ERA in his last six starts. He's yielded only three earned runs in 19 innings at home during this stretch. Teheran is 5-2 with a 2.71 ERA in 12 lifetime starts versus the Marlins, including a 2.53 ERA in five career starts against them at Turner Field.

The Marlins have been without Giancarlo Stanton the past four games because of soreness on his right side while Christian Yelich has had one at bat since May 20 due to a bad back.
