Preview for Friday, September 25, 2026. Schedule and player information can change.
Atlanta Braves at Miami Marlins
The Braves head to Miami to face a Marlins club that leans on Eury Pérez, who has thrown approximately 150.0 innings this season with a 4.14 ERA and a WP-calculated FIP of 4.28. Starting-pitcher information for Atlanta is unavailable in this preview, so the comparison on the mound rests entirely on the Marlins side of the ledger.
Looking at the team-level numbers, Atlanta's offense carries a WP-estimated wOBA of 0.312 against Miami's 0.316, giving the Marlins a slightly better mark at the plate. On the run-prevention side, the Braves show a lower ERA at 3.62 compared to Miami's 4.10, and Atlanta's WP-estimated FIP of 4.17 is also lower than the Marlins' 4.24, suggesting Atlanta's pitching staff has been the stronger unit overall this season.
Both clubs list several players on the injured list. Rotowire lists Rayven Antonio and Starlyn De La Cruz of the Braves on the 60-Day IL, along with Bryce Elder on the 15-Day IL. For Miami, Aiva Arquette is listed on the 7-Day IL, Anthony Bender on the 15-Day IL, and Keyner Benitez on the 60-Day IL. Taken together, the team statistics favor Atlanta, whose lower ERA and FIP point to a more effective pitching staff than Miami's, even though the Marlins hold a narrow edge in the wOBA figures.
