<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
My free play for Wednesday is the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins to sail over the number 9.
Let's start with the Braves, who rank No. 1 in the league against right-handed pitchers with a .289 batting average. Now you factor in Miami starting pitcher Sixto Sánchez, who is 0-1 with a 6.14 ERA after making seven appearances out of the bullpen and will be making his first start of the season, and it spells trouble.
And I don't care if this guy is just setting the table as an opener, the Braves will jump on him quick.
As for Miami, it faces right-hander Reynaldo López, who is 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA. And while it's an uphill climb, we could see a bit of regression from López, whereas by allowing a few runs early, it cuts the total down to where we need it fo the Braves to carry it over.
Look for this one to run into double digits.
