Atlanta Braves vs Athletics Prediction
The Braves are racking up the losses, the offense is in a shell, and Elder has a 5.92 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. In his last 29 innings, Elder has allowed 42 hits and 26 earned runs. Just not good. In 35.1 road innings, Elder has a 5.09 ERA and .255 allowed batting average. Spence hasn’t pitched well at home, but he’s been sharper overall with a 4.06 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. It also doesn’t matter if the Braves continue to bring ice-cold bats to the park. It’s hard to back the Braves in their current form. Give me the A’s at home.
