New York at Atlanta

Atlanta improved to 38-20 at home and 34 games over .500 overall as the Braves had 15 hits and defeated the Yankees 11-3 on Monday night. Nicky Lopez had three hits and three RBIs for the Braves and New York lost its third straight and fell farther into last place in the AL East. Bryce Elder is on the mound for Atlanta tonight and he is 8-4 with a 3.64 ERA and 1.24 WHIP and he'll try to bounce back from a couple of bad outings against the Cubs and Pirates. However, the Yankees have never faced Elder and he is 5-0 with a 2.74 ERA in night games this season and the Braves' bullpen is tied for the major league lead with a 1.21 WHIP. Luis Severino has been disastrous for New York this year as he is 2-7 with a monstrous 8.06 ERA and 1.88 WHIP and the Yankees have lost his past three starts by a combined score of 25-8. Severino allowed 18 runs on 20 hits in only 9 1/3 innings in those games. New York is 25-31 on the road. Make it a Max Play on the Braves.
