Division lead up for grabs in Braves-Marlins series

First place in the National League East is at stake when the Atlanta Braves host the Miami Marlins for a four-game series that begins Monday.

The Braves (31-22) are trying to win their third straight division title. They open the series against the Marlins (28-25) with a three-game lead over Miami.

Both teams are 6-4 over the past 10 games. Atlanta won two of three against the New York Mets over the weekend. Miami took three of five games against Washington.

The Braves and Marlins have split six games this season. It's quite a departure from a year ago, when the Braves went 15-4 against the Marlins.
