Bet365 the only one I see floating a line so far. Projecting Elder. Aside from 3.02 xERA (still 1.01 above ERA), most estimators sit closer to four. Still have him nearly a run better than Mikolas, but I have offenses closer with Baldwin out. Projected lineups only separated by five points of wRC+ v RHP since last season. Over the last 30 days, WSH proj. LU 34 points better overall. Also a five BRR edge to help counter 9 FRV deficit. (Would play to +155).
