Sandy Alcantara OVER/UNDER 6 K’s 

 

The reigning NL Cy Young winner has gotten off to a slow start in 2022, showing a 5.47 ERA. Sandy doesn’t usually stay silent for long though. On Wednesday he draws an elite Atlanta Braves lineup that has a lot of swing and miss in their lineup, but will he be able to strike out enough batters?

 

Alcantara saw the Bravos three times a season ago, which featured two masterpieces and one outing to forget. In its entirety, Sandy punched out 24 hitters in 22 innings. With ATL striking out the third-most in the bigs this year (230 K’s) and having the seventh-highest K rate (24.9%), this is a matchup that sets up well for Sandy to notch some punchies today. With Alcantara giving up 12 earned runs in his last 10 innings across two starts, this could still be a spot where he starts to regain that Cy Young form again.

 

To this point, it’s fair to say this is the toughest pitching matchup the Braves will have faced. I’m trusting Sandy to notch at least six punchouts today with the possibility of finishing near eight or nine. The good thing about backing him is there are only a few pitchers in the MLB that are given that “extra inning” where most guys would be out after throwing 98 pitches, but Sandy (and Gerrit Cole) is one of those arms that usually gets a crack at trying to nail down three more outs. That could ultimately be the difference. 

 

 

Pick: Alcantara 6+ K’s

Bo Bichette OVER/UNDER 1.5 Total Bases

 

Bo Bichette is always a threat to lead the MLB in hits, often one of the top favorites in the preseason. He’s hitting a robust .324 with a strong .851 OPS. Definitely putting him on pace for another strong campaign in his young career. With the series already in the bag, the Blue Jays will be going for the sweep of the Chicago White Sox. How much of a role does Bo play in the finale?

 

Admittedly, Bichette has not been crushing the ball lately. He is only six for his last 30 with one extra base hit in his last eight contests. Although Bo has been on the cooler side lately, today’s pitching matchup affords him some opportunities to get hot heading into the next series against Seattle. Michael Kopech has the ball for the ChiSox, and he’s been brutal. 

 

Kopech comes into Wednesday with a bloated 6.87 ERA and 1.74 WHIP, giving up 12 hits over his last 10 innings across two outings. The command is simply not there either, allowing 14 walks in 20.2 innings pitched. Even in his small sample size of a career 2-3 against Kopech, this seems like one of those games where Bichette can easily nab two or three knocks. Of the 22 hits Kopech has surrendered, 12 of them have been extra base hits. Having Bo at the top of the lineup for a potential fifth at-bat could prove to be the difference in this one.

 

Pick: Bichette O1.5 Total Bases
