Braves vs Diamondbacks Preview, Prediction
Action PRO projects Braves starter Reynaldo Lopez for 3.8 strikeouts in their matchup against the Diamondbacks tonight, giving us a nice 9% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 4.5, which is good enough to mark the Under with a B- grade in our system.
In his previous start versus the Royals, he fanned just three batters in six complete innings.
That alone was more work than he managed in 2025, when a right-shoulder injury cut short his season and limited him to just five innings.
Tonight, he will face an Arizona offense that ranked seventh in strikeout percentage last season, with 21.2%.
This season, the Diamondbacks started with very similar numbers at 21.7%.
Let's fade Lopez on his strikeouts line against Arizona.
Pick: Reynaldo Lopez Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-149, DraftKings)
