Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves will look to bolster their playoff positioning against Alec Marsh and the Kansas City Royals today and we have a player prop bet for that matchup.
Let’s dive in!
Charlie Morton (ATL) under 2.5 earned runs allowed (-150)
Charlie Morton has been in decent form across his last 8 starts, allowing 2 or fewer earned runs in 6 of those outings. His last start saw 4 earned runs charged against the 40-year-old, but that was a road start and Morton now returns home for his last regular season start of the season. The right-hander’s ERA at home is 1.21 runs lower than his ERA in road starts, and he has allowed 2 or fewer earned runs in 11 of 16 games at home including each of his last 4. He now faces a Royals lineup that has been slumping against right-handed pitching in the month of September, ranking 26th in wOBA with a wRC+ of 75. Kansas City is a far better offensive unit when in their home park, and their road struggles have been pretty consistent throughout the season.
