Although this selection might seem like a square pick, both starting pitchers have been performing exceptionally well this season. Bryce Miller from the Seattle Mariners has only made three career starts so far, and impressively, he has recorded a quality start in each of them. In total, he has pitched for 21 innings and has only allowed one earned run.

On the other side, the Atlanta Braves have Bryce Elder, who has more experience, having played last season and already making eight starts this year. While his recent performances haven’t been as strong, it’s important to note that overall, he has held the opposing teams to three or fewer runs in seven out of his eight starts.

Considering the impressive performances of both pitchers, it’s a challenging decision. However, based on their track records, it seems like they will likely limit the opposition’s scoring. Take the Under 8.5
