Ronald Acuna Jr. has made his return to baseball in style over the past week. Acuna tore his ACL early in the 2024 season and ended up missing the rest of that season and the start of this season. The Braves wanted Acuna to be truly 100% before he started playing again, which is why he missed the start of this season. It looks like that plan by the Braves was the correct one, because Acuna has gotten off to a flying start. It was a storybook moment when Acuna hit a home run in his first pitch that he faced all season against the Padres just five days ago. Acuna followed that up with another home run and two RBIs in his second game of the season. Acuna has had at least one hit in all four games that he has played this season and is sporting an OPS of 1.139.
Ronald Acuna Jr. is facing Zack Wheeler to start Wednesday night’s game. Wheeler has been one of the best pitchers in baseball over the past few seasons, and it has been mostly the same this season. However, Wheeler did have his worst start of the season against the Braves in April. In that game, Wheeler gave up five earned runs and eight hits. Also of note, Wheeler has given up a home run in eight of his 11 starts this season. That is good news for Acuna, who has been mashing since his return a few days ago. Despite how good Wheeler has been, Acuna has held his own in the matchup between the two over the years. He has a career .255 batting average against Wheeler, but more importantly, he has four career home runs off of Wheeler.
My favorite Ronald Acuna Jr. prop for this game is for Acuna to register an RBI. Zack Wheeler doesn’t give up hard hits to many batters, but it has been a lingering issue so far this season. Acuna is one of the rare hitters who has been able to conjure up that power against him over the years. He has three RBIs through four games so far this season and should be able to keep that momentum in this game against the Phillies. The Braves got hot against Wheeler when they faced off earlier this season, and if there are runners on base, Acuna should be able to drive them in.
