Elder comes in with a 5.89 ERA across 20 starts, with the home run ball being a real issue in recent weeks. If Bryce can keep the baseball in the yard against the White Sox \u2014 who have actually been one of the AL\u2019s better hitting teams recently \u2014 he\u2019ll have a chance to be successful and build on the start against the Mets.<\/p>\n<p>The White Sox are set to start Shane Smith, a 25-year-old righty who made his big league debut this season and has thrown the ball pretty well for the most part. He owns a 4.01 ERA \/ 4.26 FIP \/ 4.41 xFIP over 21 starts and 101 innings with a 22.5 K% and 10.3 BB%. Command has been the biggest issue for Smith, who often sees his pitch count elevate and forces him to depart after four or five innings. Matter of fact, he\u2019s only logged six innings in two starts since the start of May. We\u2019ll see if the Braves, who lead baseball in walk rate in the second half, can force Smith to really work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Game Date\/Time<\/strong>: August 19, 7:15 p.m. EDT<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong>: Truist Park, Atlanta, GA<\/p>\n<p><strong>TV<\/strong>: FanDuel Sports Network South and Southeast<\/p>\n<p><strong>Radio<\/strong>: 680 AM \/ 93.7 FM The Fan<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>22 combined runs were scored on Monday.
