Houston Astros vs. Baltimore Orioles
Sunday, August 25, 2024 – 07:10 PM ET at Oriole Park at Camden Yards
There’s No Hitting Yusei Kikuchi
The Houston Astros will send out lefty Yusei Kikuchi for tonight’s game. He’s a lefty who has struck out 31% of batters over the last month.
While the strikeouts are high, he’s also held his last 116 batters to a .132 ISO and wOBA of .288. Kikuchi has also kept walks to 7.8% this season.
He’ll battle an Orioles lineup that has struck out nearly 23% of the time with only 5.9% of walks over the last month against lefties. Beyond that, the lineup has five batters with strikeout rates of at least 25% against lefties over the previous month.
Righties Can Hit Kremer
The Orioles will ride it out with Dean Kremer. Kremer is a right-handed pitcher who has struggled more against righties over the last 30 days. He’s allowed a .163 ISO and wOBA of .320 over the previous month to righties. In addition, he’s allowed 29.3% of fly balls and has only induced 36.6% of ground balls against righties.
He’ll battle some red-hot righties like Alex Bregman and Yainer Diaz tonight. Those two can do enough damage alone to help the Astros escape with a win.
