Miami Marlins at Atlanta Braves (2026-08-06). Janson Junk vs Martín Pérez at Truist Park.
Starters — Janson Junk enters with a 4.58 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 78.2 innings, pairing 6.98 K/9 with 2.52 BB/9 and 1.26 HR/9. His last three starts were mixed but improved overall: 5.0 IP, 0 ER, 4 K, 2 BB; 4.2 IP, 1 ER, 6 K, 0 BB; and 4.0 IP, 6 ER, 3 K, 3 BB. The recent trend is down, but the last two outings were clearly steadier than the one before them. Martín Pérez has been more reliable on the season with a 3.24 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 97.1 innings. He carries 6.93 K/9, 3.61 BB/9, and 1.02 HR/9. His last three starts were strong: 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 6 K, 2 BB; 5.0 IP, 3 ER, 4 K, 1 BB; and 4.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 K, 4 BB. His listed trend is also down, though the run prevention in two of those three starts stands out.
Teams — Miami owns a .728 OPS, 499 runs, a .249 average, and a 4.00 team ERA with a 1.24 WHIP. The Marlins are 6-4 over their last 10, which suggests decent recent form, but their run production still trails Atlanta’s by a notable margin. Atlanta brings a .732 OPS, 557 runs, and the same .249 average, while backing that with a 3.63 team ERA and 1.24 WHIP. The Braves are 8-2 in their last 10 and have been the more complete profile overall, with a modest edge in OPS and a clearer edge in season-long scoring and staff ERA.
