Atlanta Braves vs. Houston Astros Prediction
Hunter Brown is on the mound for Houston and he has been awful so far this season:
- Brown is second percentile in xERA
- He is first percentile in xBA
- He's third percentile in whiff and chase percentage
- He's third percentile in hard hit percentage
- He has a .700 BA allowed to right-handed batters
- He is 9.29 xFIP to right-handed batters
Ronald Acuna Jr. should get 5+ plate appearances tonight and when he does he has 2+ hits in seven of ten games and also in five of the last six games.
Acuna got off to a slow start this season but looks to be back to his normal self. In the last six games against right-handed pitching, he has six batted balls over 95 MPH exit velocity (including four over 100 MPH) and yesterday he hit a dinger just foul before striking out.
Acuna last year against Brown’s top three pitches (to right-handed batters):
- 4-Seam -> .329 xBA
- Cutter -> .422 xBA
- Knuckle Curve -> .472 xBA
