With star rookie Spencer Strider on the injured list, the Atlanta Braves didn't have a starting pitcher in place for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals until late on Sunday evening. Their pursuit of the NL East title is running out of time, but this might be a good place to start.
Bryce Elder will draw the start after pitching 5 2-3 solid innings against these same Nats on September 21. The 23-year-old righty has allowed just two earned runs in his last 18 2-3 innings, striking out 22 in the process. The Nationals will counter with Cory Abbott, who hasn't gone deeper than 4 1-3 innings in any of his last seven appearances. In the ultimate of small sample sizes, Braves slugger Austin Riley is 1-for-1 with a home run vs. Abbott.
