Atlanta Braves vs. Boston Red Sox - Spencer Schwellenbach vs. Nick Pivetta (1:35 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (-124) at FanDuel

It’s been a roller coaster of a year for the Atlanta Braves who came into the season as one of the favorites to win the World Series as well as a heavy favorite to win the NL East. After a hot start, the Braves went through a rough cold stretch that saw their offensive metrics steadily decline down the board. The Braves are now in second place in the division standings and a handful of games back from the Philadelphia Phillies.

To make matters worse, they also recently lost reigning MVP Ronald Acuna for the remainder of the year due to a torn ACL. While that would normally spell disaster for nearly every team in the league, the Braves fortunately have enough depth to mask the void of production from his departure. Michael Harris, Austin Riley, Marcell Ozuna, and Matt Olson still make a formidable top of the order that can score against anyone in a heartbeat.

The Braves offense now gets the opportunity to round back into form and start the scoring early against the Red Sox Nick Pivetta whose aggression may come back to bite him. Pivetta has a tendency to try to create whiffs with speed inside the zone which can be equally damaging when teams create contact. Pivetta comes into the contest with an ERA of 4.08 and a WHIP of 1.047.

As for the Red Sox offense, they have been a pleasant surprise so far this season as they were projected to struggle. That has yet to be the case as the Red Sox currently rank above league average in Team Total Hits, Runs Scored, RBIs, and On Base Percentage. They now get the opportunity to continue to succeed against the Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach as he possesses an ERA of 5.40 and a WHIP of 1.200.

Cincinnati Reds vs. Colorado Rockies - Graham Ashcraft vs. Dakota Hudson (3:10 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (-155) at FanDuel

After targeting the matchup between the Reds and Rockies in yesterday’s slate of YRFIs, we go back to the well for their series finale as they roll out two more underwhelming pitchers who will be prone to getting beat from the opening pitch. Both offenses may underwhelm on paper, yet both are due for some positive regression with the benefit of getting to play at the friendliest hitting park in the league.

Starting with the Reds, it’s been a disappointing start to the year for a unit that was poised to contend as one of the best offenses in the league. While they currently rank below league average in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage, they now get the chance to build some momentum against Dakota Hudson who comes into the contest with an ERA of 5.02 and WHIP of 1.483.

As for the Rockies, their offense has struggled to generate consistent production by ranking above average in Team Total Hits yet below average in Runs Scored. They are now in a position to bring home their runners on base against the Reds starting pitcher Graham Ashcraft who has struggled in his 11 starts. Ashcraft takes the mound with an ERA of 4.76, a WHIP of 1.449, 64 Hits Allowed, and 31 Earned Runs Against.
