New York Mets
Harvey took the loss against the Milwaukee Brewers in a shaky start as he made it five innings giving up four earned off of eight hits while striking out six and walking one. He has given up three home runs, eight runs, and 17 hits in his last two starts.
The strikeouts (7.80 K/9) and walks (1.80 BB/9) are pretty solid, but home runs continue to plague him as he has a 1.80 HR/9 and 18.8% HR/FB ratio. If he can get a hold of his fastball/slider combo, we should see his 4.80 ERA and 4.72 FIP regress towards his 3.74 xFIP.

New York’s lineup has cooled off a tad in the last week slashing .233/.317/.389 while hitting 17 extra-base hits and 21 RBI.
Atlanta Braves
Sanchez was solid in his last start picking up his first win of the season against the Chicago Cubs. In frigid temperatures, Sanchez was able to go six scoreless-innings only giving up three hits while striking out six and walking one. After struggling the last couple of seasons, the veteran has gotten off to a hot start only giving up 2 earned runs in 14 innings of work.
He now owns a sparkling 1.29 ERA and an efficient 3.48 FIP to go along with 9.00 K/9 and a .64 HR/9, but his 3.86 BB/9 is a tad high. His ERA is bound to take a hit once his unsustainable 96.4% LOB% begins to regress. Other than that, it has been a great bounce-back campaign for Sanchez thus far.

Atlanta’s lineup has been hitting the ball well in the last week (five games) slashing .266/.356/.404 to go along with 16 extra-base hits and 20 RBI.

4* Free MLB Betting Pick: OVER the Total
Sanchez has been solid, but he is about to face a feisty Met’s lineup that owns a .435 SLG% against righties. The Braves may not be crushing the ball against righties, but they own a .262 batting average against them, and with the way Harvey has been struggling giving up hard contact hits, they may not have a problem knocking the ball out of the park. The under has been the trending pick, but I’ll be opposing that in this outing.
