Atlanta Braves vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
I’m loving the spot for Matt Olson tonight and am expecting him to drive in some runs. He will match up with the righty Ryne Nelson who has struggled in his last two starts. Nelson has allowed 18 hits, nine runs, and three home runs over his last 8 and 2/3s innings and will face the dominant Braves offense tonight. He relies on his four-seam fastball, which is his primary pitch (54.2%), and it is one that the entire Braves lineup hits well.
All nine hitters have over a 57.7% hard hit % against four-seam fastballs against right-handed pitchers, so I expect Olson to find himself with multiple RBI opportunities. I think Ryne Nelson gets rocked in this game, and I like Matt Olson to hit a home run, so I’m taking his RBI, which I think has more value than his HR prop. Below are a few more reasons why I like his RBI ladder tonight.
- Olson went hitless last night – He has 1+ home run in six of his last seven games after going hitless the game before
- Olson, in his last seven games, with a home run – 4, 2, 5, 2, 3, 2, 3 RBIs
- Olson, in his last 18 games with a hit – 2+ RBIs in 8 of 18, 3+ RBIs in 5 of 18, 4+ RBIs in 3 of 18
- Olson has 16 home runs in 180 PAs at home against right-handed pitching for a crazy 8.9 HR/PA %
- Olson has a .270 AVG and .337 ISO with runners in scoring position
