The first stone in the battle for first place in the NL East will be cast on Tuesday night, as the Braves and Mets square off at Citi Field.
Mike Soroka will make his first MLB start for the Braves, and will have the following lineup backing him:
With the success of the new lineup configuration against the Phillies, Snitker has again opted to bat Ozzie Albies leadoff, and keep Ender Inciarte in the 9-hole. After Sunday’s ten-run avalanche, this is worth revisiting.
Noah Syndergaard will toe the rubber for the Mets, and this current Braves lineup has had decent success against the flamethrower.
