Atlanta is on a five-game winning streak, yet finds itself as a huge underdog. The Braves have scored 31 runs during this streak, but now face Fernandez, who is 9-3 with a 2.57 ERA. However, Norris has put up strong numbers in his last three starts, sitting with a 2.65 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. Certainly Miami has the edge on paper, but the odds are just too strong for them. Given the Braves’ current hot streak, they are worth a gamble tonight.
