It is tough to feel anything but great for Brett Anderson this season. Despite numerous injuries limiting Anderson to 43 starts over the past four season, he has gone out and solidified a Dodgers pitching rotation dealing with numerous injuries itself. He gets the Braves on Tuesday and Mets Sunday, both on the road.
The Braves do not like their own home cooking. The power was suspect going into the 2015 season, and the continued absence of Freddie Freeman is felt daily. Only the Chicago Cubs have a lower slugging percentage at home than the Braves, and their OPS is 25th in the Majors. The Braves finally reached 100 extra base hits at home this season, which is still one of the worst totals in baseball. They also average 54.6 at-bats between home runs at Turner Field.
The Mets are just okay at home. The Amazins sport a .238 average at home, fifth worst overall, but have slightly higher rankings in slugging and on-base percentage. The Mets batting' WAR is 7.8, seventh worst in baseball. New York could be a trickier matchup for Anderson because they are a much better team at home. He’s posted a 2.92 ERA away from L.A.
