Even at 40, Charlie Morton is a good pitcher. However, he has been missing bats at a reduced rate this season and it will rear its ugly head against a patient Cubs offense this afternoon at Truist Park.
My Cubs vs. Braves predictions look at whether or not Charlie Morton can keep the good times rolling or if Chicago can escape Atlanta with a win.righty Charlie Morton is off to another solid start with a tidy 3.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 3.64 xFIP. Still, Father Time is undefeated, and the 40-year-old isn’t packing the same punch on the bump. His strikeouts per nine innings and strikeout percentage are down from last year’s respective 10.08 and 25.6% marks.
Additionally, Morton is generating fewer called and swinging strikes than last season with his CSW% down to 27.6% from 30.7%. Opposing hitters are making more frequent contact, with his contact percentage up to 77.5% from 70.4%. Finally, the veteran righty has only fanned seven or more batters in two of seven starts, and I expect to land closing line value on theseis in the midst of a well-deserved heater with a .927 OPS and three extra-base hits across his past eight games. I like the surge to continue Wednesday because he still has statistical correction ahead against right-handed pitchers.
