"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."
Michael Harris II moved up to second in the Braves lineup, his highest batting order position of the season, replacing his previous high of fourth. The change aims to give him more at-bats, especially against right-handed pitching. Harris is batting .318/.339/.523 versus right-handers with a wRC+ of 139 and six home runs. Ronald Acuña Jr. is back in the field, while Dominic Smith takes over as the designated hitter. The Braves’ lineup is presented as particularly strong against righties, supported by the team leading all of baseball in hitting versus right-handed pitching with a team wRC+ of 119. Miami’s lineup will be added once released.
