Pitching Matchup for the Atlanta Braves vs Colorado Rockies on Saturday, June 17th

Atlanta's sending Bryce Elder to the mound this afternoon on City Connect Saturday. 4-1 with a 2.69 ERA in his thirteen starts, Elder's been a revelation for a Braves team that needed some stability in the rotation after losing Max Fried and Kyle Wright to the IL for extended absences. He's never faced Colorado, with LF Jurickson Profar the only active roster member for the Rockies with any previous experience against Elder (he's 0-2).

Colorado is countering with righty Connor Seabold. 1-2 with a 4.70 ERA in his fifteen appearances (eight starts), he's struck out only forty-two in his fifty-three and two-thirds innings of work, walking eighteen and allowing seven homeruns. No Atlanta Braves have ever faced him, but it's a taller order than it might appear: He's put up two quality starts in a row, against the Giants and Red Sox, going twelve innings with ten strikeouts and only three runs.
