The Twins are sending Chris Paddack to the hill today. The veteran has a 9.49 ERA with an expected slugging percentage of .488 through three starts and he pitched to a 4.99 ERA across 88 1/3 innings in 2024. That's the perfect opportunity for Braves first baseman to break out of his slump. The two-time All-Star is slashing just .203/.338/.344 this season but the Statcast analytics indicate that he's due for major positive regression.Olson is in the top fifth percent in average exit velocity and hard-hit rate while sitting in the top 10th percentile in barrel rate. His expected slugging percentage is an impressive .593 and he'll have the platoon advantage against Paddack.
