Braves face steep climb in lopsided pitching matchup
Briefly

The Braves are facing a challenging matchup with seventh starter Bryce Elder against Giants' ace Logan Webb. Elder's performance has been replacement-level, leaning on an effective vertical slider, but struggles with his sinker. In contrast, Webb is a consistently high-performing pitcher known for his remarkable ground ball rate and improved strikeouts this season. With the Braves needing a win to stay in the playoff race, facing Webb presents a tough obstacle as the team seeks to rally on the road in San Francisco.
Bryce Elder, the Braves' seventh starter, has shown limited effectiveness in the major leagues but offers solid innings. He's not a rotation staple but valuable depth.
Logan Webb has proven to be a top-tier pitcher with impressive consistency, boasting a high ground ball rate and strikeout abilities, essential for the Giants' success.
