Miami Marlins vs. Atlanta Braves - Max Meyer vs. Charlie Morton (7:20 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (+100) at FanDuel

After entering the year as one of the betting favorites to win the World Series, the Atlanta Braves are clinging on to their wildcard hopes after conceding their comfortable lead to the rest of the playoff contenders. Their lack of offensive production has been the main culprit for their season-long struggles as the Braves offense ranks below league average in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage.

In a desperation attempt to salvage their playoff hopes and potentially catch the Philadelphia Phillies at the top of the NL East standings, the Braves acquired San Francisco Giants Jorge Soler to help bolster their offensive production. Soler brings a productive contact ability at the top of their order, helping mask the loss of production after the injuries to reigning NL MVP Ronald Acuna Jr and Ozzie Albies.

With a revamped top of their batting order, expect an uptick in production from the Braves offense against the Miami Marlins Max Meyer. While Meyer does possess a WHIP of 0.952, negative regression looms large as his FIP of 4.25 does not correlate with his success. Miami’s defense has helped mask his play on the mound in his minimal starts, yet that trend is poised to crumble as the Marlins defense ranks near dead last in Defensive Efficiency.

As for the Marlins offense, they have also severely underwhelmed as they rank near dead last in the same previously mentioned offensive metrics. Luckily for Miami, their offense gets the opportunity to play at a competitive level against the Braves Charlie Morton as he has struggled with limiting opposing scoring opportunities in his 2024 campaign. Morton takes the mound with an ERA of 4.16, a WHIP of 1.255, a FIP of 4.43.

Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Angels - Ryan Feltner vs. Carson Fulmer (9:38 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (-125) at FanDuel

After the conclusion of our first YRFI, our next one gets underway when the Colorado Rockies battle it out against the Los Angeles Angels. Both units have had their fair share of struggles this season as the Rockies are in last place in the NL West division standings while the Angels are in fourth place in the AL West. Both clubs are also out of wildcard contention, sitting at least 10 games back from the last wildcard spot.

The Rockies struggles have been especially unfortunate as their offense has actually played at a near league average rate in terms of Team Total Hits. The issue is that their hits are far and few inbetween as they rank near dead last in On Base Percentage. Against the Angels rotational pitcher Carson Fulmer, expect the Rockies to get on base at a higher rate as he takes the mound with a WHIP of 1.203 and FIP of 4.50.

As for the Angels, their offensive production has steadily declined since the injury to former MVP Mike Trout. Positive regression looms large over their lowly offense as the Rockies Ryan Feltner has struggled with limiting the number of opposing scoring opportunities. Feltner enters the contest with an ERA of 4.99, a WHIP of 1.413, a FIP of 4.18, 125 Hits Against, and 64 Earned Runs Allowed in 21 total games played.

Bet on Over 0.5 Run (-125) at FanDuel
