The Braves’ struggling DH drops further down the lineup, while the rookie catcher starts again after a homer on Friday. Marcell has had a brutal June and start to July, after a highly productive start to the season. Jurickson Profar bats cleanup again, as he has been good in his return from suspension.

For the Orioles, they keep the same batters in the lineup, but flip their 4 and 5 batters and their 6 and 7 batters.

The Braves are just about dead, with a 10% chance of making the playoffs per most projection systems, so it may be worth taking a look at the draft lottery with an eye towards next season, but for now, we get a Saturday bullpen game, as the Braves truly are out of MLB-caliber starting pitchers.
Today’s game starts at 4:10 PM ET and can be viewed in the normal spots. You can see more on the pitching matchup in the game preview here.
