Can the Dodgers’ Dominance Over Braves Spark a Season-Altering Turn?

Can the Dodgers’ Dominance Over Braves Spark a Season-Altering Turn?

The Braves are a team that everyone expected to compete against these Dodgers as one of the best in the league. Sure they’ve had some injuries, but so has pretty much every other team. For the amount of talent on this Atlanta roster, the team is just not up to snuff. They are only 14-18 for the season, but I guess the positive for them is they are 8-5 at home and with fewer than half of their games played coming on their home turf so far, maybe some views from the home dugout are what they need in order to succeed. None of their numbers on offense or pitching are that terrible, they just aren’t winning games. Today they hope that changes with Bryce Elder on the mound. Elder is 1-1 with a 5.33 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. He is better than these numbers suggest, and he has posted back-to-back quality starts. He faced the Dodgers in his first start of the season and allowed three earned runs on three hits – two of them were longballs – in four innings.
