Free MLB Pick
Neither starter is on the top of their game right now, but their seasonal situational stats suggest as pitcher’s duel. Arizona starter Robbie Ray has rarely thrown a bad game on the road with an 85.7 Q start percentage in his seven road outings and a cool 2.18 earned run average. Likewise for Atlanta’s Julio Teheran who brings a home 72.7 Q start percentage and 2.52 ERA to the mound. The Diamondbacks have had difficult time getting hits off of Teheran with the active roster managing a paltry lifetime .179 batting average in 40 plate appearances. The Braves lack of scoring has been nearly a daily topic and while they’re doing a better job as of late in the run department left-handed pitching has been a season long problem for them.
