The lineups for tonight’s game between the Atlanta Braves and the Boston Red Sox have been revealed. While there aren’t too many surprises as to who’s leading off for the Braves in this one, we’ve got a familiar combination at the top of the order in this one for Atlanta.
Here’s Atlanta’s lineup:
If this was a couple of weeks ago, I probably wouldn’t be excited about seeing Ozzie Albies anywhere near the top of the order. With that being said, he’s certainly been returning to good form as of late — since May 13, Ozzie has been hitting .346/.433/.481 with a .406 wOBA and 159 wRC+ over 60 plate appearances. Additionally, he’s walking at nearly a 12 percent rate over that span as well, which is not bad for a guy who has walked at just under a seven percent rate over the course of his career. Clearly Ozzie is looking good at the moment and hopefully combining at the top of the order with his buddy Acuña will prove to be fruitful for Atlanta in this one.
Here’s Boston’s look:
Jarren Duran, Rafael Devers and Wilyer Abreu are at the top of the order for Boston. Outside of that, they’ve done a decent amount of shuffling. Clearly they’re looking for something that’ll help get them out of their current slump. Hopefully the Braves will keep them slumping!
Tonight’s game is scheduled to start at 7:15 p.m. ET and this is an Apple TV+ game, so keep that in mind.
