Dodgers on Deck: Sunday, May 10 vs. Braves

The Dodgers are set to wrap up a tough week with Sunday's series finale against the Braves, and despite a few unexpected bumps in the rotation—like Tyler Glasnow landing on the injured list and Blake Snell cutting short his rehab assignment to start Saturday—Los Angeles has a steady arm to turn to in left-hander Justin Wrobleski.

Wrobleski has been a master of efficiency this season, attacking the strike zone and keeping hitters guessing. While his strikeout rate sits at just 10.5 percent—dead last among the 129 pitchers with at least 30 innings—it hasn't mattered. He's been getting outs in bunches, allowing only two total runs over 32 innings across his five starts, all of which he's won. His quick pace has also been a gift to fans: Wrobleski has started three of the Dodgers' eight fastest games this season, with his outings averaging just two hours and 34 minutes.

On the other side, Atlanta's Bryce Elder has been just as effective, posting a 2.02 ERA and a 2.83 expected ERA through eight starts and 49 innings. He's been a workhorse too, pitching at least six innings in each of his last four outings. With both pitchers in top form, Sunday's matchup is shaping up to be a pitcher's duel that any baseball fan would love to watch—preferably with a fresh Dodgers cap and a cold drink in hand.
