In his first full season in the bigs, Soroka has been one of the most profitable pitchers in baseball, leading Atlanta to a record of 11-3 in his 14 starts. The 21-year-old Calgarian has been selected for the All-Star Game; the Braves drafted him out of high school in 2015 with the No. 28 pick, and Soroka has already paid big dividends, showing impressive pitch control and inducing nearly three times as many groundballs as flyballs.

Eflin was a first round pick in 2012, but the Florida native hasn’t enjoyed much success since making his MLB debut with the San Deigo Padres. With an ERA of 3.34, this season has been his most successful throughout his 16 starts for the Phillies. He has the Phillies at 7-9 thus far and is getting just 4.06 runs of support per game.

MLB Odds: Soroka, Braves Host Phillies on ESPN

Mike Soroka (2.13 ERA) continues his remarkable rookie season this Thursday when he takes the mound for the Atlanta Braves against Zach Eflin (3.34 ERA) and the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. First pitch is at 7:20 PM ET on ESPN.

After making five starts for Atlanta last year, Soroka has the Braves at 11-3 in 2019, with pinpoint control of his pitches and just four home runs allowed – earning the Calgary native a trip to the 2019 All-Star Game. The Phillies, meanwhile, are 7-9 behind Eflin, scoring just 4.06 runs per game and driving the UNDER to an 9-6 record.
