Blake Snell (1-0, 3.60) vs. Bryce Elder (0-0, -.--).
The Dodgers' 7-0 start is pretty surprising, but what's more surprising is the Braves' 0-6 start. Atlanta was picked by many as one of a small handful of teams that could vie for the 2025 title--and they still might, given their lineup is not at full strength yet--but a 0-6 start might reflect bad timing (running into buzzsaws against the Padres and Dodgers, both undefeated so far) and / or bad luck.
Another loss from Elder tonight, and the Braves might face...oblivion?
The Braves are batting .137 this season with a .458 OPS, 30th in the majors (the Dodgers are .226 with a .791 OPS: 16th for average, and 8th for OPS). So the Braves, collectively, are basically Andy Pages-level offense (.136 BA, .451 OPS).
(And to be fair to Pages, that's better than Kiké Hernandez, Max Muncy, Miguel Rojas, and Austin Barnes.)
Blake Snell faced 24 batters in his debut against Detroit (where he got the win, 5.0 IP with 2 ER, 2 Ks and 4 BB). We expect more from Snell's starting rotation spot. Show me, Blake!

damn. i knew Pages BA was bad. didnt know the others were worse. think ive seen Pages get one hit all season. i missed a few more i guess.
Max needs to makeup for that error like Mookie did last night
Snell is struggling again. What a surprise

Two RISP with one out, T2. Braves already up 3-0 and Snell looks like shit

Let’s keep this going! Judge hasn’t even dropped a ball yet
Muncy sucks, and Kiké isn’t far behind him
Snell only lasts four innings?! What the fuck. I am tiring of this guy fast
I'm a little nervous every time the ball is hit to Max
Ouch for Pages HBP, but to be fair that is the best way for him to get on base
Pages, what are you doing?!
Mookie hits it back to the pitcher for the first out, but pages was caught in no man’s land and doubled up off third.
Pickoff error advances Shohei to second. Two out for Teo
Dammit Teo!
