Today’s matchup is between the Los Angeles Dodgers (33-23) and the Atlanta Braves (26-28). The Dodgers have won 2 of their last 5 games & the Braves have won 1 of their last 5 games.
The Dodgers are starting Julio Urias (LHP), on the mound who is 7-2 on the season pitching a 3.61 ERA, 2.99 FIP, .263 wOBA, K% of 28.3%, BB% of 3.4%, 86.7 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.95 WHIP in 67.1 innings pitched.
The Braves are starting Ian Anderson (RHP), who is 4-2 on the season with a 3.27 ERA, 3.66 FIP, .294 wOBA, K% of 25.5%, BB% of 9.5%, 87.3 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.25 WHIP in 55.0 innings pitched.
The Dodgers are 14th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Braves are 19th.
On the hitting side, the Dodgers have a .330 wOBA and a .340 OBP. The Braves have a .323 wOBA and a .315 OBP. The Dodgers have 71 HRs this season while the Braves have 83 HRs.
I favor Julio Urias over Ian Anderson in this matchup and Julio's consistency is something I can rely on. Braves have the HR power but the Dodgers have a high .340 OBP. Give me the Dodgers!
