Division leaders Los Angeles (80-51) and Atlanta (76-55) open a three-game series tonight at Truist Park. The Dodgers enter play holding a commanding 9.5-game lead over the Padres in the NL West. Los Angeles has won five straight games and continues to boast one of baseball's most complete rosters, ranking among the league’s best at the plate and on the mound. Struggling of late with just three wins in their last ten games, the Braves have seen their lead in the NL East cut to 3.5 games over the Phillies over the past couple of weeks.
The Dodgers hand the ball to Tyler Glasnow (3-0, 2.72 ERA) tonight. The veteran has been dominant this season…but has rarely been on the mound. This will mark his first start since May 6 due to a lingering back issue. It is difficult to put much stock in his stats from earlier this season, but Glasnow’s 1.64 ERA away from Dodger Stadium is elite.
Atlanta counters with veteran right-hander Bryce Elder (8-7, 3.92 ERA). Other than a start earlier this month against the Mets (5 IP, 7ER) Elder has been exceptional the last two months. In those other six starts, Elder has thrown 34 innings and allowed but nine earned runs. At Truist Park this season, Elder owns a 3.42 ERA.
Stat to Consider: Los Angeles leads the majors against right-handed pitching with a .768 OPS.
Stat to Consider II: The Braves have actually out-homered the Dodgers this season – 168 to 167.
