Probable Starting Pitchers

Friday, May 14, 7:15 p.m.: Connelly Early (3-2, 3.16 ERA) vs Spencer Strider (1-0, 2.89 ERA)
Saturday, May 15, 7:15 p.m.: Payton Tolle (1-2, 2.78 ERA) vs Bryce Elder (4-1, 1.81 ERA)
Sunday, May 16, 7:15 p.m.: TBD vs Grant Holmes (2-1, 4.35 ERA)

Strider is coming off a dominant start out in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. In what was his second start of the season, he tossed six scoreless innings, allowed one hit and two walks while striking out eight.

After a shaky debut at Coors Field, he settled in and helped the Braves make a statement against the back-to-back defending World Series champions.

Elder continues to have one of the more underrated runs in the game this season. Depending on whether Shohei Ohtani qualifies, he either has the best or second-best ERA in the National League (1.81). His .180 opponent’s average is the fourth-lowest in the National League.

He’s building a case to make his second-career All-Star Game this July.

Holmes has made one start since he pitched on May 1. He was scratched from his May 6 start in favor of Martín Pérez. He pitched just four innings and threw 78 pitches in his last start on Tuesday against the Cubs. Manager Walt Weiss said he was pulled as early as he was due to the long stretch between starts and the long fourth inning.
