That&#8217;s a small sample size but is encouraging nonetheless. The fireballing lefty posted a stellar 11.5 K\/9 rate in his Cy Young season with the Toronto Blue Jays and has that swing-and-miss juice back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He fanned seven Detroit Tigers in his last start and nine Cincinnati Reds the outing before that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both of those teams are swing-happy but they don&#8217;t hold a candle to what the Braves are doing right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atlanta has the fifth-highest K rate this season (24.7%) and the highest strikeout rate versus lefties since the all-star break (34.2%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">San Francisco has already trotted out two southpaws in this series to positive results. Blake Snell struck out a whopping 11 batters in 6.1 IP while Kyle Harrison fanned six in 5.0 IP last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Harrison, who has a 45th-percentile K rate on Baseball Savant, that&#8217;s a big night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Giants have been increasing Ray&#8217;s workload start-to-start and he just logged 105 pitches his last time out. There should be ample opportunities to rack up strikeouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Atlanta has a 25.9% K rate in 112 combined at-bats against Ray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ozuna over 1.5 total bases (+108):<\/strong> Ozuna sold my +305 MLB parlay yesterday by going 1-for-5 with four strikeouts. The other legs (Tarik Skubal over 6.5 strikeouts, Yankees moneyline) cashed with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"cacheembed:91625\">Embed: #91625<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As annoying as that was I&#8217;m going back to the well tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ozuna had cleared this total in six games prior and is slashing an impressive .333\/.421\/.552 against left-handed pitching this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The designated hitter has the fourth-most home runs (35) and the sixth-highest OPS (.959) in MLB and has seen Ray plenty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s 5-for-20 against the lefty with a double and a home run. Those aren&#8217;t earth-shattering numbers but are enough to give me confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Ray&#8217;s biggest flaw, even when he won Cy Young, was giving up hard contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picks made at 10:03 a.m. ET 08\/14\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlanta Braves look to sweep the San Francisco Giants.
