The Atlanta Braves have released their lineup for tonight’s contest against the Miami Marlins and the lineup is one that looks like another reminder of just how deep this lineup can be on any given day when injuries aren’t completely ravaging the squad.
Anyways, here’s the lineup for the Braves:
Michael Harris II has moved up to second in the lineup, which is the highest he’s hit in the lineup so far this season by two full spots. His previous highest spot in the order was fourth, so clearly Walt Weiss is thinking that it would be better for Harris to get some more ABs at the moment — especially against right-handed pitching. Harris is entering this game batting .318/.339/.523 against right-handers with a wRC+ of 139 and six homers so far.
Also, Ronald Acuña Jr. is back in the field while Dominic Smith will be taking on the role for DH in this one. Again, this is a very solid-looking lineup against righties — as evidence by the fact that the Braves as a team currently lead all of baseball in hitting against right-handers with a team wRC+ of 119 against righties.
Here’s Miami’s lineup:
Xavier Edwards and Otto Lopez stay at the top of the lineup and as long as Chris Sale can find a way to make sure they’re not involved in any given rallies, he and the rest of this pitching staff should hopefully be in good shape. Anything can happen as we’ve seen from this series so far but hopefully the Braves will be able to take firm control of this series with their performance this evening.
Let’s hear what you think of the lineup for Atlanta. . Are you like me and you like what you see? Let us know!
