Can Bryce Elder Ignite the Braves’ Dominance and Deepen the Athletics’ Despair?
Speaking of Elder, this start marks his season debut. He closed spring training on a high, whiffing six Red Sox hitters while barely giving up a run over five frames. He had a hiccup against the Rays, no doubt, but unlike others struggling with mechanics, Elder seems locked in. It’s been over two weeks since we last saw him on the mound, so how he handles the break—likely fueled by bullpen work—will be crucial. A shutdown performance here would be a fine way to kick off his first Opening Day roster appearance.
