Sean Zerillo’s Brewers vs Braves Preview
The Braves are continuing to stretch out Joey Wentz as a starter, and he’s been better than his 5.02 ERA indicates (3.89 xERA, 4.59 xFIP), as shown by his six shutout innings against the Royals in his most recent start.
Wentz has a solid curveball (103 Stuff+) and improving command (102 Location+).
Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta is having command issues, walking seven batters with a 92 Location+ mark over his past two starts against the Cubs and Dodgers.
Atlanta’s bullpen is underperforming (projected 3.80 FIP, 4.58 xFIP over the past month), so I project a smaller gap between these two relief corps (about a quarter-run) than the recent results suggest (closer to a three-quarters run).
I project the Braves ML at -101 and the total at 7.23.
Pick: Braves ML (+125 | Play to +110) & Under 8 (-110 | Play to 7.5 +100)
