There's a huge class difference between these two teams. So I find this a short price to lay.

Promising Bryce Elder makes his 12th career start for Atlanta. He hasn't allowed a run in 12 1/3 innings this season. Elder faces an anemic Royals offense that ranks in the bottom three in runs and batting average.

The Royals are pitching lefty Kris Bubic, who had a 5.58 ERA and 1.69 WHIP last season. Bubic has pitched much better in his first two starts, but now encounters a hot Ronald Acuna and a Braves team that is batting .336 against lefties.
