Braves aim to extend hot streak in Miami (The Associated Press)

MIAMI -- The Friday matchup between the Atlanta Braves and the Miami Marlins at Marlins Park doesn't have much to offer baseball fans.

The Braves (62-91) are the worst team in the National League and the second worst in the majors -- and that is after a recent hot streak.

The Marlins, who haven't made the playoffs since 2003, are a virtual lock to fall short yet again.

Even worse for Miami (76-77) is the fact that it struggles to beat the lowly Braves, who are 10-6 against the Marlins this year.
