Miami Marlins at Atlanta Braves (2026-08-05). Eury Pérez vs Bryce Elder at Truist Park.
Starters — Pérez brings a 3.44 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 104.2 innings, with a strong 9.63 K/9, 3.44 BB/9, and 1.12 HR/9. His last three starts were sharp: 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 6 K, 2 BB; 7.0 IP, 3 ER, 2 K, 1 BB; and 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 9 K, 3 BB. The trend is up, driven by run prevention and swing-and-miss ability. Elder has a 3.84 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 119.2 innings, with 7.60 K/9, 3.01 BB/9, and 1.43 HR/9. His last three starts were also solid: 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 3 K, 3 BB; 5.0 IP, 1 ER, 8 K, 4 BB; and 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 1 BB. The listed trend is down, but the recent game log still shows steady run suppression.
Teams — Miami owns a .731 OPS and 498 runs scored, with a .250 team batting average. The Marlins’ pitching staff has a 3.99 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, and they are 6-4 over their last 10 games. Atlanta has a slightly better .733 OPS and a clear edge in run production with 553 runs, alongside a .249 team batting average. The Braves’ staff has been stronger overall, posting a 3.66 ERA with the same 1.24 WHIP, and they are 7-3 in their last 10. This matchup pairs two fairly similar offenses by OPS, but Atlanta has converted that production into more runs and has the better full-staff ERA.
