09/19/2011 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Braves can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but their engines have stalled a bit over the last week. Perhaps one last trip to Sun Life Stadium can get their playoff hopes back on track.
Atlanta goes for its seventh victory in as many games in Miami this season when it beings a three-game set against the Florida Marlins this evening.
The Braves have lost six of their last nine overall, a span that began with a season-high four-game losing streak. The first three defeats of that skid came in St. Louis and the Cardinals have won nine of their last 11 to pull within 3 1/2 games of Atlanta for the National League Wild Card spot.
The Braves own a magic number of seven with nine games left to play to clinch the league's last playoff berth and could turn things around in their last- ever trip to Sun Life Stadium, having swept a pair of three-game sets there this season. Atlanta has won 11 of 15 overall against Florida in 2011.
Sunday's rubber match of a three-game series with the Mets did not go in the Braves' favor as they lost a 7-5 decision. Alex Gonzalez homered in the loss, but Martin Prado grounded out to end the game with runners on first and third.
"We fought but we just couldn't hang on to the lead. They kept coming back, we kept coming back. At the end they were victorious," said center fielder Michael Bourn, who had two hits, an RBI and scored twice.
An outing from Mike Minor could also reverse Atlanta's fortunes as the club is 9-1 over his last 10 starts, with the lefty himself going 5-0 in that span since his last loss on May 31.
Minor did not factor into the decision of a 7-1 win over the Marlins on Tuesday as the Braves plated all of their runs following his exit from the game. Minor allowed a run on four hits and four walks over 5 2/3 innings.
The 24-year-old is 5-2 with a 4.11 earned run average in 13 starts this year and has not posted a decision in two career meetings with the Marlins to go along with a 6.52 ERA.
The Marlins counter with right-hander Ricky Nolasco, who has lost three of his last four decisions and that includes a loss to the Braves last Wednesday in the rubber match of a three-game set in Atlanta. Nolasco hurled six shutout frames to begin his start before yielding four runs in the seventh inning to suffer defeat.
The big blow in Nolasco's final inning of work was a three-run homer by Gonzalez. Brian McCann and Dan Uggla have also homered this year off Nolasco, who is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in four starts versus the Braves in 2011.
The 28-year-old is 10-11 with a 4.42 ERA overall this year.
The Marlins have lost five of their past seven games and are coming off Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals. Brett Hayes and Gaby Sanchez both homered, but Brad Hand allowed four runs -- three earned -- over four innings to take the loss.
"I felt pretty well out there tonight," said Hand. "I was throwing strikes, just a few bad pitches at a few costly times."
Florida will visit Milwaukee for three games following this series and will then end the season against the Nationals in the final set at Sun Life Stadium. The Marlins are set to move into a new stadium for the 2012 season.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
