<p data-start="415" data-end="624">Well, Sunday was a frustrating one, as multiple teams we backed blew leads and handed us a brutal 1-3 finish. The good news is we’ve got a strong Monday slate to bounce back and get back into the win column.</p>

<h2>MLB Picks and Predictions for Monday, April 13</h2>

<h3>Miami Marlins vs Atlanta Braves </h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-102243 size-full" src="https://wp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/attachment-GettyImages-1258950304.webp" alt="Braves" width="780" height="520" srcset="https://wp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/attachment-GettyImages-1258950304.webp 780w, https://wp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/attachment-GettyImages-1258950304-300x200.webp 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px" /></p>
<p data-start="85" data-end="219">An NL East division series battle begins in Atlanta tonight, when Grant Holmes and the Braves host Eury Perez and the Miami Marlins.</p>
<p data-start="221" data-end="387">The Braves’ bats are picking up as of late, as they’ve won four of their past five games, while the Marlins’ hitters have cooled off a bit, dropping three straight.</p>
<p data-start="389" data-end="470">Despite that, Miami may be able to pick up some steam offensively this evening.</p>
<p data-start="503" data-end="702">Holmes&#8217; 2.55 ERA is overshadowed by his 4.62 xFIP and 4.69 Skill-Interactive ERA (SIERA). I&#8217;m not necessarily expecting him to get obliterated, but I do think the Marlins can cause a bit of damage.</p>
<p data-start="669" data-end="837">Meanwhile, Perez could struggle a bit as well. His ERA sits at 5.06 with a 6.20 FIP, and he’s also carrying a 19% HR/FB rate, 16.7% barrel rate and 43% hard-hit rate.</p>
<p data-start="839" data-end="962">Atlanta has been crushing righties this season, ranking second in ISO (.188) and third in both wRC+ (126) and OPS (.801).</p>
<p data-start="964" data-end="1098" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">If I had more conviction in Holmes, I’d most likely be on the Braves’ side, but instead, I’m going to back this total going over eight runs.</p>
<p><strong>Pick: Total Over 8 (-116)</strong></p>
<h3><a href="https://www.bettingnews.com/mlb/matchup/2026-04-15-cleveland_guardians-st_louis_cardinals-n-1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cleveland Guardians vs St. Louis Cardinals</a></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-102237 size-full" src="https://wp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/fxxp9eppmpe3uhfkcysm.jpeg" alt="Gavin Williams" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://wp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/fxxp9eppmpe3uhfkcysm.jpeg 1024w, https://wp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/fxxp9eppmpe3uhfkcysm-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p data-start="183" data-end="349">After both teams dropped two of their last three games in their respective series, the Guardians and Cardinals are each looking to start this one on the right foot.</p>
<p data-start="351" data-end="570">St. Louis took the opener against Boston before dropping the final two, while Cleveland had a rollercoaster series in Atlanta &#8211; losing 11-5, bouncing back with a 6-0 win, then getting crushed 13-1 in the rubber match.</p>
<p data-start="572" data-end="738">The Cardinals will turn to southpaw Matthew Liberatore to stop the bleeding, and while his ERA suggests he&#8217;s capable of doing so, his alternative numbers suggest otherwise.</p>
<p data-start="55" data-end="305">Liberatore owns a 3.38 ERA through three starts and 16 innings, but a 5.54 xERA and 6.08 FIP suggest that number won’t hold. He’s also carrying a 17% HR/FB rate, a 1.50 WHIP, just a 7% strikeout-to-walk ratio and a 4.80 SIERA.</p>
<p data-start="55" data-end="305">That could be a bad blend against a Guardians offense that&#8217;s fared well versus lefties this season. Cleveland ranks eighth in ISO (.132), 12th in wRC+ (98) and 13th in OPS (.673).</p>
<p data-start="405" data-end="521">On the other side, Gavin Williams will be starting for the Guardians, and his numbers offer a bit more confidence.</p>
<p data-start="523" data-end="773">Through three starts and 17.2 innings of work, Williams has a 2.04 ERA, a 3.61 xERA and a 3.50 xFIP. He too has a high HR/FB rate of 18%, but offsets that with an impressive 93% left-on-base rate and a .115 batting average on balls in play (BABIP).</p>
<p data-start="775" data-end="923">He’s matched up against a Cardinals lineup that’s 23rd in ISO (.132), 24th in wRC+ (89) and 25th in OPS (.653) versus righties so far this season.</p>
<p data-start="925" data-end="1047">Both the hitting and pitching advantages reside with the visitors and that’s the side I’ll be backing.</p>
<p><strong>Pick: Guardians Moneyline (-115)</strong></p>
