Dylan Rockford liked the over (8 runs) in the Marlins-Braves matchup, primarily due to continuing struggles from Miami's Cal Quantrill. Despite acknowledging Quantrill's vulnerability (he gave up six runs in four innings against the Mets), Rockford also believes Miami can put some runs up on Braves starter AJ Smith, whom he described as merely okay—neither good nor bad. Dylan mentioned the Marlins being notably feisty offensively early in the season. Given both teams' potential run production and Quantrill's persistent struggles, Rockford saw clear value betting the over rather than picking a side.

Scott Reichel strongly advised betting the Braves on the run line (-1.5) due to his persistent fade of Marlins starter Cal Quantrill. Quantrill was demolished by the Mets in his first outing (allowing six runs in four innings), and Reichel has lingering skepticism of his overall ability. Despite the Braves' winless start (due largely to facing top-tier teams Dodgers and Padres), he feels a significant performance turnaround is imminent against an inferior Marlins squad. He sees this as a prime spot for Atlanta's powerful lineup to rebound convincingly, expecting comfortable run line coverage at plus-money value.

JD Bets recommends betting on Cal Quantrill to allow over 3.5 hits against the Mets. Quantrill averaged 5.7 hits allowed over his recent games, and despite leaving hitter-friendly Colorado, JD argues he'll struggle to show improvement on the road in Miami. Historically, Quantrill gave up fewer than three hits only in one recent start, consistently allowing four or more over an extended period. The Mets lineup presents a tougher matchup than he's faced recently, reinforcing the recommendation. JD also mentioned he would include the Mets money line in a parlay, motivated by Quantrill's struggles with hits allowed.

Guy Boston suggests targeting Miami pitcher Cal Quantrill's hits allowed total as an actionable bet against the Mets today. He highlights Quantrill's very poor numbers last season—allowing over 4.5 hits in 22 of 29 total starts and hitting the under narrowly in most of the remaining games. Guy Boston points out that the Mets have hitters like Lindor and Soto who historically hit righties effectively. Although he notes possible early-season risks due to limited pitch counts if Quantrill gets shelled early, he favors the over 3.5 hits allowed at -160 and strongly leans toward over 4.5 hits (+money odds) as a strong value option.
