Both starting pitchers in this game, Eury Perez (Marlins) and Nolan McLean (Mets), allowed seven hits in their most recent start. Neither of them have winning records this season, so this is a low total considering those numbers. The Marlins head into this series with confidence at the plate, as they scored eight runs in two of their three wins in a sweep of the Phillies earlier this week. The Mets scored eight runs against the Dodgers on Sunday and 14 runs against the Braves on Monday, so both offenses have been impressive recently. SportsLine's proven computer model has these teams combining for 9.9 runs, as the Over hits 71% of the time.

"Washington will activate Jake Irvin (2-5, 5.23 ERA) off the 60-day IL to start tonight," SportsLine expert Matt Severance said. "Definition of mediocre with a career 24-38 mark and 4.96 ERA; he led the majors in earned runs allowed in 2025. I will say that rather strangely the Nationals have been much better away. It's also their seventh straight game without a day off. Atlanta is one of the best home teams in the majors (32-20) and Grant Holmes (6-4, 3.79 ERA) is unbeaten in four straight overall. Not ideal the Braves had to play two at the Mets on Wednesday, but they were off on Tuesday so I'm not too worried. The bullpen is still in pretty good shape."

"Don't look now but San Diego has won five straight games and enters a crucial four game home weekend series against NL West rival San Francisco," SportsLine expert Eric Cohen said. "For the Giants, Robbie Ray is a shell of himself away from home: 3-5 with a 4.35 ERA vs. 6-1 with a 2.22 ERA at Oracle Park. Look out for the middle of the Padres' batting order against Ray: Manny Machado, Ty France, and Luis Rengifo are a combined 19 of 48 (.396) with 7 home runs against the left hander. Look for San Diego's top notch bullpen to throw at least four innings in relief of J.P. Sears and lead the Padres to another home victory."
