Ozzie Albies' absence creates a significant gap in the Braves lineup as he has been a steady force, leaving big shoes to fill especially in the second batting position.
With Luis Guillorme stepping in for Albies at second base, Harris will continue to bat second due to his strong performance against RHP starters last season, displaying an OPS+ 30.0% better than league average.
Astros' pitcher J.P. France poses a challenge for the Braves lineup as they have limited experience facing him, with France having an xERA of 8.11 this year, despite a 4.86 xERA last year.
Astros hitters like Altuve, Abreu, and Tucker have varying levels of success against Braves pitcher Fried, with Altuve being the hottest hitter but never facing Fried before.
