Matt Olson bats second, as Alex Verdugo is dropped to seventh, Drake Baldwin starts

Rationality returns to the second spot in the lineup

The Braves are hoping that Grant Holmes can shut down the Marlins’ offense to keep the team’s momentum alive after a few strong series but a disappointing loss Friday night.

The Braves have blessedly dropped the “whoever is playing left field bats second” habit tonight, moving Matt Olson up to second instead and placing the Braves’ best two hitters at the top of the lineup.

Austin Riley bats third and Marcell Ozuna fourth. Drake Baldwin gets the start at catcher and bats fifth.

The Marlins kept most of the same lineup from Friday, except with Eric Wagaman starting at first and batting sixth, taking Heriberto Hernandez’ spot in the starting lineup and shifting Hicks, Norby, and Meyers down in the lineup, as those three were shuffled around a bit.

Today’s game starts at 4:10 PM and can be watched in the normal spots. Check out more on the pitching matchup in the game preview here.
