Gore gets the ball in a rematch with the Atlanta Braves and will face them for the second time in less than a week. For starters, we generally give the hitters a slight edge when something like this happens as they know what to expect after just having faced a guy 3 times in the previous match up. Vegas seems to agree in some respects as Gore did strike out 5 Braves in that outing, yet they still brought the number down to 4.5. In addition, over the last month and a half the Braves have struck out at a pretty low rate doing it less than 20% of the time as a team. In terms of Gore, his K rates are way down when compared to his season long numbers. On the season, he is getting batters from both sides at a 30% clip, but over the last 30 days he is getting LHH just 12% of the time and RHH just over 20%. He has also had some control issues walking 2 or more in 5 straight outings. This has led to a short hook for Gore who has not pitched more than 5.1 innings in 4 straight starts. The combination of the Braves putting the ball in play more frequently, and Gore not going deep into games, gives us a lot of confidence in this under here tonight.
