Aaron Nola's declining strikeout numbers rely on batters chasing bad pitches, and the Braves have shown more discipline at the plate of late, making tonight's best bet clear to our MLB expert.The NL East divisional race could still get a little more interesting, but for the moment, the Philadelphia Phillies remain in firm control of the top spot. The Atlanta Braves, however, could salvage a series split vs. Aaron Nola tonight by avoiding the punchout.for the fourth time this season.
Atlanta has a reputation for being a team that strikes out a lot, and that's certainly well-earned. Entering today, the Braves are Top 5 in whiff rate and swing rate. However, whether it's because of injuries or a change in approach, things have been slightly different down the stretch. My bet here is fading a viewpoint about the Braves that isn't exactly rooted in reality. Atlanta has shown a much better ability to illustrate patience at the plate than in years past. They've shown that against this particular pitcher multiple times now. Add in the fact that Nola appears to be fading as we reach the season's end, and I like this bet even better.Merrifield has the lowest whiff rate and chase rate of any Braves player. He's also batted .
We saw some slight movement towards the Under here. The total has gone from 8.5 at open to a flat 8 at most books.The Phillies have hit the F5 run line in 38 of their last 59 games at home .
