The Atlanta Braves took game 1 of their series with the Kansas City Royals yesterday at the K by pummeling them, 10-3. Today it won’t be as easy but they should still get the job done. Bryce Elder is expected to get the nod for the Braves and he has been electric. Elder is 1-0 with an ERA of 0.00 and a WHIP of only 0.97. Southpaw Kris Bubic should get the start for the Royals. Due to absolutely no run support, he is 0-1 but still has an impressive 1.64 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP. Altanta is a World Series contender and KC is not. The Braves are also 6-1 on the road and 4-1 in their last 5 interleague road games against a left-handed starter.
