He is 4-3 with a 3.13 ERA this season. His team won their last 3 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season appearance, he allowed 1 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 5 SO on 6 hits through 5 IP against the Miami Marlins.

The Braves are entering this series off a loss and won their 3-game series against the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 40-20 record overall and have a home record of 17-10. This is the 1st game of a 3-game series with the Blue Jays on Tuesday and they have Monday off as a day of rest. Their offense ranks 3rd in the MLB with a .761 OPS. Spencer Strider was their starting pitcher on Sunday while Bryce Elder is making his start in this game on Tuesday. He is 4-3 with a 2.50 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 5 earned runs, 0 homers, and 1 walk with 1 strikeout on 9 hits through 3.1 innings pitched against the Boston Red Sox.

The current betting odds have the Braves listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Braves have looked great in their games this season with their 40-20 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL East with the best record in MLB. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 17-10 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays haven't looked good in their games this season with their 29-31 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL East. They have been a bad road team too with their 12-18 road record this year. The Blue Jays are 6-4 in their last 10 games and they have looked a lot better lately after a terrible start to the season, but they have still been a terrible road team this year. The Braves are also 6-4 in their last 10 games and they have been rolling all season with the best record and one of the best offenses too. Elder is on the mound for the Braves here and he has looked great this season. He is 4-3 with a 2.50 ERA and he hasn't been giving up many runs all year. He did give up 5 earned runs in his last start and the team has lost 2 of their last 3 games with him starting now, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this season and he will be looking to bounce back with a better start. The Blue Jays are going with Gausman in this one and he has looked great this year. He is 4-3 with a 3.13 ERA and the team has been having a lot of success with him too. They have won 3 games in a row now with him starting and he is coming off a great start in which he only gave up 1 earned run, but the issue with the Blue Jays this season hasn't really been their pitching. Their pitching still hasn't been great overall, but last year they had one of the best offenses in MLB and this year they are near the bottom of the league. They are also playing against one of the best offenses in MLB here, so look for the Braves to take this 1st game with the much hotter offense to help out their starter. The best way to place a bet here is on the Braves to win this game.

“We're looking forward to the off day. Overall, I thought we played kind of a mixed bag these last four games here in Baltimore, in all areas. But I think 10-7 — we took a step forward, collectively, over that period of time. Guys are feeling it. The bullpen's feeling it when you're running some bullpen games, too. So, looking forward to tomorrow and regroup on Tuesday.” - John Schneider after his team’s loss against the Orioles in their game on Sunday. 

"I hit for Mateo, who's been one of the hottest hitters on our team. I think the lefties are a much better option against Santillan right there, he's really tough on righties." - Walt Weiss on pinch hitting for Jorge Mateo in their loss against the Reds on Sunday.
