That relief appearance was his only outing with an FIP below 5.00.

He’s had just one appearance, a three-inning relief stint, where he didn’t allow a homer.

If you leave out that one start where he dominated the Rockies, then: It’s not like this is a bloated number due to one or two blow-ups, either: Cueto has been essentially destroyed every time he’s taken the mound, but one. The veteran has -0.5 fWAR across eight starts and a relief appearance, with a ghastly 141 ERA-, 154 FIP-, and 116 xFIP.

What bodes less well for Miami, though, is that they’re starting Johnny Cueto in this series opener, and Cueto’s season has been rough. Their playoff odds are around 19 percent right now, and the Braves can either seriously damage them, or enhance them, depending on what happens this weekend. The Marlins have probably the toughest remaining schedule out of all of the fringy NL contenders, and arguably have the weakest roster as well, so it’s an uphill climb for them for sure, but anything can happen in a couple of weeks. They’re half a game behind the Giants and Diamondbacks, who are tied for the third Wild Card spot. The Marlins are actually still in it, too.

Still, the more he can show the slider location and consistency of command that led to his earlier success here, the more likely it is that he gets to see some key innings in the playoffs. On the season, Elder has a fine 76 ERA-, 97 FIP-, and 100 xFIP-, with a more than solid 2.1 fWAR in 162 1⁄ 3 innings. So, the question has shifted from, “Can Elder regain what he lost?” to “Can Elder keep it going for two straight starts?” And that’s what we’re going to find out tonight. Sure, it came against a weak lineup, but the Marlins also have a weak lineup, as do many of the teams that bedeviled Elder while he struggled. That was a big deal for the right-hander, because he hadn’t had a start with an FIP and xFIP below 4.50 in his past 12 starts. In his last start against the Pirates, Elder dazzled, with a 9/1 K/BB ratio and just a two-run homer allowed in garbage time.

It’s not clear whether the Braves will deploy a hangover lineup in this game, given that they had an off-day to clear their heads and bloodstreams, but whether they do or not, Elder’s outing is going to be something to watch. (That and a smattering of personal and team milestones!) Since time is a flat circle, you guessed it: Bryce Elder is going to start the next game after the big series, again. and are now going to play a series in Miami, with only the #1 seed and MLB’s best record to chase down at this point. In 2023, the Braves took three of four from the Phillies to clinch a sixth-straight division title. and then had to go play another series in Miami to sew it up, with Bryce Elder drawing the start in the first game of that series. In 2022, the Braves swept the Mets to put themselves on the cusp of a division title.
