Analysis
I'm on Atlanta on Tuesday. The Braves are 25-11 and have the best run differential in MLB but blew a 4-0 lead last night. Seattle only scored in one inning but 5 runs in the 6th was enough. I expect a bounce back by Atlanta tonight. Bryce Elder is taking care of business with some of the best starting pitching metrics in 2026. In fact, Elder is power rated as one of the top-25 pitchers so far this season. His numbers are fantastic including on the road where he owns a 1.98 ERA & 0.73 WHIP. And the way the Braves are seeing the ball at the plate, I expect the offense to provide Elder with as much as he needs. Kirby is good in his own right but the Braves do a lot of damage at the plate and have the pitching to back it up. I'm on Atlanta on Tuesday. Thanks and best luck! JB.
