The Braves are playing some of the best all-around ball in years. Can they keep it up against the second place Marlins?

The Braves are now the only team in MLB left to have not lost a series yet.
The Guardians were the other, and thanks to the Braves, that is no longer the case. It is crazy to think that the Braves and Marlins are the two teams fighting for first place after what happened last season. Grant Holmes will hope to continue his hot start to the season tonight when he faces a Marlins’ offense that is surprisingly in the top half of MLB in runs scored per game with 4.
38. Holmes has limited his opponents to a pristine 2. 55 ERA so far this season while maintaining a 1.
08 WHIP over 17. 2 innings. His strikeout to walk ratio is fourteen to eight so it is not elite, but he has limited hard contact well.
