Atlanta Braves vs Miami Marlins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Monday, 08/25/25

After a 6-game home stand against the White Sox and Mets, the Braves hit the road to face the Marlins in Miami on Monday night. Atlanta will send Spencer Strider to the mound, and August has not been kind to him. In 3 starts this month, Strider has allowed 20 earned runs on 29 hits in just 11.2 innings of work. He entered the month with a 3.71 ERA on the season, but that has since ballooned to 5.24. The Miami offense ranks 9th in the league in total runs scored in August, so Strider won’t have an easy outing on his hands.

Unlike the Braves, the Marlins have the luxury of not traveling this weekend. Miami will be playing its seventh game of a 9-game home stand in this contest. Miami’s Edward Cabrera is holding opponents to a .229 batting average at home this season, and Atlanta’s offense has struggled to score runs all season long. Neither team has played great baseball in the second half, but at this point in time, the Braves are the more untrustworthy team. Strider has been a disaster lately, and Austin Riley is now done for the season after undergoing surgery for a core injury. Fade the Braves and back the Marlins in this NL East matchup.
