The Atlanta Braves (2-1) host the struggling 0-3 Oakland Athletics at Truist Park for a three-game series opener, pitting right-hander Bryce Elder—holding a 1.93 ERA over 14 innings against Oakland last year—against lefty Jacob Lopez. Atlanta won two of three from the Royals in their opening set, buoyed by home-field edge, while the A's lost their first three, including extras to the Blue Jays, exposing bullpen woes. Braves' rotation and lineup depth strained without ace Spencer Strider (oblique strain, 15-day IL until early April), catcher Sean Murphy (hip labral tear, out until May), and shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (torn ligament, 10-day IL); Athletics mostly healthy barring minor RP issues. Mild 71°F conditions could boost offense early season.
