The 40-20 Atlanta Braves will open a 3-game set tonight with the 29-31 Toronto Blue Jays at Truist Park. The best team in baseball is expected to give the nod to Bryce Elder. He had a rare bad outing in his last turn against Boston where he allowed 6 runs on 9 hits resulting in a 0-8 loss but that won’t happen tonight. Elder is 4-3 with an ERA of only 2.30 and an excellent WHIP of 1.08. Toronto has lost two straight and is expected to turn to the veteran Kevin Gausman to right the ship. Gausman has been delivering as he usually does with a record of 4-3, a respectable 3.13 ERA and a WHIP of only 1.09. It is never a wise thing to go against the Braves and especially when they are at home. Atlanta is 17-10 in home games. They average 5.3 runs per game which is second in the Majors and average 8.9 hits per game which is first in the Majors, plus they have one of the lowest team ERAs in the league at 3.16.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ATLANTA BRAVES

The San Franciso Giants will have their work cut out for them tonight when they travel to American Family Field to open a 4-game set with the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee has been clicking, winning 5 of their last 6. They are 35-21 overall and 19-11 in home games. The expected starter for Milwaukee is lefty Shane Drohan and he has good numbers, at 2-1 with an ERA of only 2.63 and a 1.10 WHIP. The 23-26 Giants sit in the fourth spot in the NL West, have just 1 win in their last 6 tries, and have been clunkers on the road at 11-20. They are expected to send Landen Roupp to the hill. He is 5-5 with a respectable ERA of 3.30 and a 1.18 WHIP. The Giants do not score runs, averaging only 3.9 per game. The Brewers average just under 5 per game and have one of the lowest team ERAs in the majors at 3.17. The side to consider here is Milwaukee.
