Spencer Strider has missed the over on this line since coming back from the IL. Atlanta's bullpen was spared yesterday thanks to Bryce Elder eating eight innings and if we're still getting a 17.5 outs line on Strider, I've got to bet the under. Snitker and the Braves want to stretch him out I'm sure but with the start they got yesterday, and Chris Sale tomorrow, is this really the spot to do that? Atlanta is 3-13 since May 20th and on a six game skid. This is the final game in San Fran and they have to win at least one before heading to Milwaukee. I don't see why they would pick this spot to push him unless his pitch count was super low.

The Atlanta Braves have lost consecutive games in heart breaking walk off fashion to the San Francisco Giants. They are now on a six game losing streak, but look for their team hitting to shine today. Since May 10th, when they have scored two runs or less they have followed up with a minimum of four runs. Take the Braves as they end Landon Roupp’s recent strong run.

DraftKings. Coming off an elbow injury, Spencer Strider has yet to reclaim his dominant form. He’s pitched to a 5.68 ERA (6.41 xERA) and his hard hit and whiff rates have moved in the opposite direction. His velocity is down a tick, and the Braves have remained cautious: Strider has yet to pitch into the sixth inning in each of his four starts. Now pitching on four days rest for the first time this season with a fresh bullpen, I don’t expect today to be the day where the Braves push their young ace. Plus, the Giants see the fourth most pitches per plate appearance.

The Braves have lost six straight, and Spencer Strider is struggling with his command. I bet the GIants in the first five behind Landen Roupp, whose nasty breaking pitches have helped him string together four oustanding performances. He's allowed just a 30.9 percent hard-hit rate this season.
