The Atlanta Braves are competing in the final game of a tight three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals. With the series split, the Braves aim for their fifth win in six games, but they are sticking with pitcher Bryce Elder, who has been struggling significantly, evidenced by a 7.20 ERA and poor performance metrics since July 2023. Despite his ground ball success and some potential improvement with his slider, his overall metrics indicate a troubling trend and limited room for regression. The Braves will require offensive support as the team stabilizes after a rocky start to the season.
The Braves have continued to rely on Bryce Elder despite his struggles; he has one of the worst ERAs among MLB starters since mid-2023, raising concerns.
Elder has been excellent at generating ground balls, but overall, his performance metrics reflect a dismal outlook, with little evidence of imminent improvement.
