The Braves are closing in on the top NL spot after last night’s solid win behind Dallas Keuchel and Josh Donaldson. Today they will look to get even closer on the back of Julio Teheran.
Teheran is having a good season statistically with a 3.75 ERA over 100 innings. His FIP and xFIP leave something to be desired, but Teheran routinely outperforms his peripheral stats so this season is no anomaly. His biggest strength has been his ability to keep the ball inside the park more often this season. Teheran was among the leagues worst in home runs allowed last season.
