Dodgers' Wrobleski Set to Face Braves' Elder in Series Finale
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves conclude their three-game series on Sunday with a pitching matchup featuring two starters enjoying strong early-season performances. Dodgers left-hander Justin Wrobleski, who holds an impressive 5-0 record and 1.25 ERA, will take the mound against Braves right-hander Bryce Elder, who sports a 3-1 record and 2.02 ERA. Wrobleski, initially the sixth starter in the rotation, has allowed only two runs across five starts and aims to maintain his momentum despite lacking strikeouts in his most recent outing. Conversely, Elder is focused on pitching deep into games to support his team, aiming to avoid the late-season struggles he experienced in 2023. The Braves enter the game after a 7-2 victory on Saturday, seeking to win the series following a recent loss in Seattle. This contest highlights the strategic adjustments both teams have made, including the return of Blake Snell to the Dodgers' rotation, which reshuffled scheduling but kept Wrobleski on track for this start.
