Spencer Strider sets the tone with a 29.6% K rate and a sharp 3.72 ERA, giving Atlanta a massive edge on the mound. Kansas City starts 45-year-old Rich Hill, who’s only pitched one game all season and brings a weak 4.3% K rate and a .354 xwOBA. This is a dream matchup for Atlanta’s offense. The Braves lineup is loaded: Acuña, Olson, and Ozuna all crush lefties and post elite xwOBA numbers. Atlanta owns a .759 OPS and 116 wRC+ vs. LHP in the second half, while the Royals rank 29th in runs and can’t hit righties like Strider. KC’s bats look hopeless here. Atlanta’s bullpen is trustworthy with a 3.88 ERA and proven arms for the late innings, while KC’s pen is overworked and vulnerable. Braves are 6-1 in their last seven against the Royals.
