Today’s matchup is between the Atlanta Braves (29-20) and the Baltimore Orioles (21-27). The Braves have won 3 of their last 5 games & the Orioles have won 1 of their last 5 games.
The Braves are starting Cole Hamels (LHP), on the mound who is making his first start of the season.
The Orioles are starting Keegan Akin (LHP), who is 0-1 on the season with a 4.61 ERA, 3.79 FIP, .311 wOBA, K% of 26.2%, BB% of 13.1%, 88.6 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.39 WHIP in 13.2 innings pitched.
The Braves are the 8th best in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Orioles are 10th.
On the hitting side, the Braves have a .351 wOBA and a .347 OBP. The Orioles have a .328 wOBA and a .325 OBP. The Braves have 83 HRs this season while the Orioles have 66 HRs.
There's a lot of unknowns with Cole Hamels making his first start for the braves. The Braves have better hitting and I'm willing to back Cole in his first start of the season to win the game.
