Ronald Acuna (+320) & Matt Olson (+215)

The Atlanta Braves started the 2023 season with a 7-2 win over their division foe Washington Nationals. Both Acuna and Olson jump-started their offense, going a combined 4-for-11.

Today, they go up against Nats' starter Josiah Gray. Gray finished the 2022 season 7-10 with a 5.02 ERA. Despite struggling the majority of the year, he pitched well against the Braves last season.

In two starts, he went 1-0 with a 0.82 ERA with HR allowed over 11 innings pitched. That single HR belonged to Matt Olson. Olson went 1 for 3 against Gray 2022, and with the lone hit being that HR we just mentioned.

Ronald Acuna also only has three plate appearances against Gray, going 0-3.

Despite the lack of historical data, both Acuna and Olsen project well today, as Josiah Gray had the worst HR/9 (2.30) in the MLB in 2022 among starters with at least 100 innings pitched.
