The Atlanta Braves, left with homework due to a hurricane, will have Max Fried (10 wins, 10 losses, 3.42 ERA) attempting to secure his 11th win of the season. Fried, who recently secured a victory with 6 innings and 2 earned runs against Miami on the 22nd, is regaining his form. Given his strong performance at home, the likelihood of him continuing this trend is high. In the previous day's game, Atlanta's lineup scored 5 runs, including 2 home runs, against Severino, delivering a significant blow with one of those home runs. This has proven that the team thrives on home runs. The bullpen, which managed to hold 2 innings with just 1 hit and no runs, should have the upper hand in terms of relief pitching.
The Kansas City Royals, having completed a sweep with their focus in the 9th inning, will have Brady Singer (9 wins, 12 losses, 3.73 ERA) striving for his 10th win of the season. Singer had a rough outing on the 22nd against San Francisco at home, giving up 6 earned runs in 5.1 innings, and has been struggling throughout September with 3 losses and a 6.43 ERA. The situation is compounded by his poor performance at home, which exacerbates his road struggles. In the previous game, Kansas City’s lineup scored 7 runs, including a solo home run from Hunter Renfroe, against Corbin and Finnegan, finally displaying their earlier prowess. Notably, they achieved 6 hits in 11 at-bats in scoring situations. However, the bullpen, which managed to hold 4 innings with just 2 hits and no runs, will face the handicap of not being able to use their best relief pitchers in this game.
Kansas City's recent performance has improved significantly. However, the fact that their last opponent was Washington raises concerns about how they will fare in this game. While Atlanta's hitting has not been impressive, Singer has weaknesses on the road, and more importantly, Kansas City will struggle to utilize their top relief pitchers. Atlanta Braves, with a stronger pitching staff, appear closer to victory.
Predicted Score: 5:2 in favor of Atlanta
Handicap: Atlanta wins
Over/Under: Under
