"He has a 5.46 ERA and 1.521 WHIP on the entire season over 94.0 innings pitched. However, since he has joined the Braves he has been much better. In 60.0 innings he has maintained an ERA of 4.65, and a FIP of 3.24 FIP while accumulating sixty-one strikeouts to twenty-one walks. The ERA is better, but not elite by any means."
"Wentz will be facing his former team today. The Pirates were the first team he played this season before he joined the Twins, and then finally the Braves. That being said, he has not faced any of the players on the Pirates roster this season. Tommy Pham has the most at-bats against Wentz with five and has been successful. He had a .400 average and 1.400 OPS."
"The Braves have not faced Keller this season, but some key players have plenty of history. Ronald Acuña has eighteen at-bats against Keller and has three HRs, a .389 average, and 1.310 OPS. Matt Olson has also been great against him. In ten at-bats he has a .500 average. Ha-Seong Kim has struggled the most. He is hitless in nine at-bats."
The Atlanta Braves begin their final regular-season series after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2017. Joey Wentz will start, marking his third team this season after being drafted by the Braves in 2016. Wentz has a 5.46 ERA and 1.521 WHIP across 94.0 innings, but has performed better with Atlanta: 4.65 ERA, 3.24 FIP, sixty-one strikeouts and twenty-one walks over 60.0 innings. Wentz did not face most Pirates this year. Mitch Keller will start for Pittsburgh, posting 144 strikeouts and a 4.22 ERA over 172.2 innings. Several Braves have strong historical numbers versus Keller.
