Jake Odorizzi

During his time, he went 10-10 with a 4.04 ERA with 137 strikeouts in 36 appearances. He also tallied 37 saves in 43 chances with 87 strikeouts in just 68.0 innings. Smith, 33, has a recorded 4.38 ERA with 41 strikeouts and five saves in 41 appearances with the team as a closing pitcher.

The Atlanta Braves acquired right-handed starter Jake Odorizzi from the Houston Astros on Tuesday in exchange for left-handed relief pitcher Will Smith.

"I believe it's the right thing (to exclude him)." Norman lashed out at the PGA Tour in his interview with Carlson. "It's a monopoly," Norman said of the older circuit. He returned from a month-and-a-half long absence on July 4 after suffering a leg injury on May 16 that forced the right-hander to be carted off the field in Boston. He is 72-66 with a 3.94 ERA over his 11-year career and has appeared in three playoff games -- all since 2019. Instead, you should consider betting on the Yankees to win the AL and the Mets to win the NL as a parlay via Barstool. The line at Barstool is +980. So, instead of $100 winning you $800 with FanDuel, $100 wins you $980 with Barstool. That's a pretty big difference. The Astros have reportedly inquired about Pirates star Bryan Reynolds in the past, and Rosenthal recently floated the idea of Houston dangling some of their controllable starters to the Orioles in an attempt to pry away Cedric Mullins. Both players seem unlikely to move over the next 16 hours, but the Astros' potential interest in both demonstrates the club has explored the possibility of an impact center field pickup for a while. Jake Meyers has struggled since returning from the injured list, and José Siri underwhelmed before he was dealt to the Rays as part of the three-team deal that brought back Mancini. Chas McCormick has played well for a second straight season, but he’s seen a bit more time in the corner outfield than in center this year. Perhaps that will allow the Royals to get an offer good enough that they take and allow Kyle Isbel to take over in center field. Now there's nothing wrong about parlaying the Yankees to win the American League pennant and the Mets to win the National League pennant, but that doesn't mean you should be baited by the "Name the Finalists Promotion" FanDuel is offering. In the case of Taylor, he was headed into free agency this time last year but signed a two-year extensions to stay in K.C. That means the Royals could keep him around for the 2023 campaign, but he’s having the best season of his career at the plate. FanDuel is offering a World Series exact matchup promotion with the line at 8/1 (+800) for the Yankees and Mets to meet in the World Series, but that doesn't mean you should bet on it. Still, the team is fourth in the AL East and 2.5 games back in the AL Wild Card race. Odorizzi, 32, is 4-3 this season in 12 starts after missing nearly two months due to a leg injury suffered in May. His last outing on Sunday was his best of the year with no runs and only two hits allowed in seven innings against the Seattle Mariners. He also had a season-high eight strikeouts. Anderson leads the NL in walks issued and has a 4.99 ERA.

Will Smith will always be a hero in Atlanta after the way he performed in the postseason last year, but the Braves still traded him.

Odorizzi has been effective in three of five starts since returning from the IL. Good insurance for the rotation. Getting something in return for nothing is huge, similar to the Sean Newcomb and Jesse Chavez swap: Will Smith will always be a postseason hero from 2021, but apparently, he would have been the odd man out when Kirby Yates returned.

He was more successful in the World Series, striking out five batters in 2.1 scoreless innings during game one. He was shelled during the ALCS against the Boston Red Sox, giving up four earned runs in four innings during game two.

With Houston, he will join a bullpen that leads the majors in relievers’ ERA (2.77 entering Monday) and is fifth with 31 saves. He then went 2-0 with six saves over 11 appearances in the Braves’ postseason run in 2021. Odorizzi, an All-Star with Minnesota in 2019, is 4-3 in 12 starts this season with a 3.75 ERA across 60 innings pitched. Smith is 31-32 with a 3.61 career ERA in 10 seasons with the Braves, Giants, Milwaukee Brewers and Kansas City Royals. He has also tallied 91 saves. Smith, 33, has been with Atlanta since the beginning of the 2020 season and is 0-1 with a 4.38 ERA and five saves in 41 games this season. He is 72-66 with a 3.94 ERA over his 11-year career and has appeared in three playoff games — all since 2019.

Jake Odorizzi adds some much-needed insurance to the back-end of Atlanta's starting rotation, given the recent struggles of Ian Anderson.

The Atlanta Braves have acquired veteran right-hander Jake Odorizzi from the Houston Astros in exchange for relief pitcher Will Smith, a source told ESPN's ...

The Braves could use six starters on an upcoming three-city road trip that includes a pair of doubleheaders. Smith is making $13 million in what is likely the final year of his contract. He has a $13 million club option for 2023 with a $1 million buyout. Smith played a huge role in the Braves' first World Series championship since 1995. He was especially expendable with three other lefties -- A.J. Minter, Tyler Matzek and Dylan Lee -- proving more effective out of the bullpen. Also, there are concerns that 13-game winner Kyle Wright, in his first full big league season, and rookie sensation Spencer Strider could tire down the stretch.

Jake Odorizzi understands why the Astros traded him. As manager Dusty Baker said of the Braves: "They had a need, and we had a need.".

And I think they do a really good job of coming out and supporting the team and enjoying it. "Just that I enjoyed my time," he said. "He's a good person, a good manager," Odorizzi said. "I'm sure there's a lot of fan bases that would kill to have a team like this year in and year out, so appreciate it while you can while it's in front of you, because these windows are so special. He's great in my book." They're very fortunate to have a team of this caliber year in and year out. "I know we had some stuff play out, but we talked about it. "It's what adults do. I have a good opportunity in Atlanta. A great team. …It's tough to leave that." And when we get settled, we'll figure everything out from there." He lauded his now ex-teammates, saying he felt like he'd made lasting friendships in his short time with the franchise.
