Charlie Morton is feeling the effects of time at 40 and we're fading him in our favorite MLB player props on Thursday, August 29.
Charlie Morton is still occasionally effective and he's far from a total dud when he takes the mound, but at 40, he's not pitching to his peak. This bodes poorly tonight in our MLB player props when he faces a potent Phillies lineup.These recommendations include betting against Atlanta Braves veteran Charlie Morton in a tough road start against the Philadelphia Phillies, and fading Cincinnati Reds rookie Julian Aguiar in his third big-league start.
Aguiar has held opposing batters to a .189 batting average and .172 BABIP while stranding baserunners at an 85.4% clip. Those numbers have serious negative regression ahead, and while Oakland isn’t a nightmare matchup, the A's rank fifth with a 9.6 BB% and 17th with a .313 on-base percentage in August. It all adds up to Aguiar’s pitch count climbing quickly, and Oakland making him sweat. The weather forecast has temperatures cooking in the 88.1 to 92.9 °F range, too.
