The best pitching matchup of the night is saved for last, as Blake Snell and the San Francisco Giants host Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Snell won last year’s NL Cy Young award and he’s pitching in a similar calibre these days. Sale, meanwhile, is the Cy Young frontrunner this season. I’m taking the over on Snell’s strikeout total as my best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Braves vs. Giants props for Aug. 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Snell over 7.5 Ks (-122)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #91405<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snell went through quite a rough patch after being named the NL’s top pitcher in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His free agency lasted into March and he was on the injured list by late April after three atrocious starts. He hit the IL again in early June, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since returning to the Giants’ rotation on July 9, he’s reminded everyone of how good he can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snell has gone into total shutdown mode over his past six starts, allowing just five runs and 12 hits in 39.0 innings. He has a no-hitter in there, as well as a game in which 15 of his 18 recorded outs were strikeouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s too late for Snell to defend his Cy Young crown, but it’s not too late for him to mow down a swing-happy Braves squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the all-star break, Atlanta has the second-highest K rate in the majors (27.5%). And on the season, the Braves have the seventh-highest K rate against left-handers (23.9%) and the fourth-highest whiff rate overall (27.6%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It shouldn’t be a surprise, then, to know that Snell has fared well against Atlanta’s lineup in a decent sample. In 75 plate appearances, he has more strikeouts (20) than hits allowed (18). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part about Snell’s recent success is that he’s working well into games. Each of his past five outings have lasted six-plus innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight’s matchup against Sale is primed for a pitcher’s duel, and I think Snell can hang around long enough to clear this strikeout total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Snell has gone over 7.5 Ks in four of his past five starts, averaging 9.2 Ks per start in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jorge Soler over 0.5 runs (+140):<\/strong> The over\/under for this matchup is set at 6.5 runs, so neither team is expected to supply much in the offensive department. But this is a very interesting price for a leadoff hitter on a hot streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #91409<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call it the Coors Field bump if you want, but Soler has homered and collected multiple hits in three straight games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Francisco is a far less friendly offensive environment than Colorado, but I still like Soler’s opportunity tonight. He’s batting .400 over his past 15 games and has cashed this bet nine times in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against Snell, Soler is 4-for-12 with a home run, a double and a walk. He typically crushes lefties as a whole, posting a .923 OPS against them since 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
