The Miami Marlins might thrive as underdogs, but facing the Atlanta Braves in the third game of a 2020 National League Divisional Series, they’ll have to prove that yet again in do-or-die fashion.

The Marlins and Braves meet at 2 p.m. Thursday in Game 3, with Atlanta already up two games in the best-of-five series. Right-hander Sixto Sanchez will take the mound for Miami. That, at least, gives some feeling of hope that this series is not over and done for.
