The Atlanta Braves will look to avoid a sweep Sunday when they wrap up a three-game series against the Miami Marlins. Charlie Morton will get the start for Atlanta while the Marlins will go with young lefty Jesus Luzardo. Atlanta is 96-52 and has already clinched a sixth-straight NL East title. The Marlins enter play Sunday at 77-72 and are a half game behind the Diamondbacks and Reds for the final Wild Card spot.

Charlie Morton will make his 29th start of the season in Sunday’s matchup. Morton is coming off of a start where he allowed six hits and four runs in six innings against the Phillies.
