MLB Parlay Piece for September 2, 2023
- Bryce Elder u3.5 Strikeouts
- Atlanta Braves Moneyline
- Freddie Freeman 3+ Total Bases
Bryce Elder u3.5 Strikeouts (-128)
On Thursday, the Los Angeles Dodgers had six left-handed batters in the lineup against Spencer Strider. If the Dodgers deploy a similar lineup tonight, it is likely to make it difficult on Bryce Elder to record many swings and misses. On the season, Elder owns a pedestrian 14.2% strikeout rate against left-handed hitters.
Atlanta Braves Moneyline (-120)
At some point, the Los Angeles Dodgers were going to come back to earth after their recent travel schedule. It seems as though it took a powerhouse in the Atlanta Braves to exploit their fatigue, but nonetheless, here we are. Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Max Muncy were each pinch-hit for in last night’s affair. There are clear signs that Los Angeles is prioritizing health and rest over the National League’s best record this weekend. Don’t be surprised to see Atlanta continue their winning streak this evening.
Freddie Freeman 3+ Total Bases (+185)
Assuming Freddie Freeman is in the lineup tonight, he has a great matchup against Bryce Elder, who has struggled to a 4.71 FIP and allowed a .245 opponent batting average to left-handed hitters this season. Elder has also been less impressive on the road this year, where his FIP, WHIP, strikeout and walk rates are each worse than his numbers at home. Freeman is well-positioned for a strong performance in this spot.
