The Braves lineup looks about as we have come to expect for the top half of the lineup with Harris and d’Arnaud out. Vaughn Grissom moves up a spot to sixth, while Marcell Ozuna returns to the lineup (blessedly only at DH). Eli White and Kevin Pillar bat eighth and ninth, manning the center field and left field spots, replacing the lefty Hilliard against a left-handed pitcher for Kansas City in Bubic. The top four of Atlanta’s lineup, featuring Sean Murphy as of recently have been on a tear, with 2023 wRC+ numbers of 181, 176, 158, and 156, respectively.
