B.Elder u4.5 Ks-116
0.86u
Available at FanDuel. As mentioned when discussing the Yankees' ML, Elder has been leaning more on his sinker of late, and it has cratered his strikeout rate. In the 13-start sample with more sinkers, Elder has hit the over on this number just 4 times (he's 1-for-6 at home). The Yankees' active roster has roughly a league-average strikeout rate against righties, so I've got Elder projected for 3.69 strikeouts, well below the mark needed to justify laying -116 on the under.
NYY +184
0.6u
Available at FanDuel. The Braves are a wrecking ball, so it *sucks* to bet against them, especially with a pitcher in Luis Severino who seems broken right now. But Braves starter Bryce Elder also isn't in pristine form at the moment. Over his past 13 starts with increased sinker usage, his SIERA has inflated to 5.15 due to just a 14.8% strikeout rate. The issues have been more apparent recently as he has let up five-plus runs in four of his past six starts (though three of those came on the road). I get why the market is here, but my model has the Yankees' win odds closer to 40% than the implied odds of 35.2%.
