Ronald Acuna has been one of the hottest hitters in the MLB recently, as he owns a .375 average with a .688 slugging percentage and a 1.121 OPS over his last 10 games. He has posted 7 extra-base hits (4 home runs), 11 RBIs, and 1 stolen base over that span, as well. He enters this game with 55% hard hit and 44% fly ball rates to go along with a 94 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days, as well. Acuna gets a plus matchup against Steven Matz, who has struggled on the road this season. The former also owns 0.078 wOBA and 0.106 ISO differentials against left-handed pitching. Furthermore, he has been at his best in Atlanta this season. He’s leading off for the Atlanta Braves tonight, and he’s one of the best plays on the slate.
I’m going back to the well with Mike Trout after he failed to hit the over last night. Even with that sluggish game, he’s hitting .294 with a .765 slugging percentage and a 1.219 OPS over his last 10 games. He boasts seven extra-base hits (four home runs) and eight RBIs in those contests, as well. If that isn’t enough, Trout has posted 48% hard hit and 60% fly ball rates with a 96 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days. He has dominated right-handed pitching, as he owns 0.075 wOBA and 0.124 ISO differentials against righties. Trout gets a plus matchup against Aaron Sanchez, and this is a perfect bounce back spot for him.
