A brand new day for another game of baseball. This time, the Atlanta Braves are looking to bounce back from an embarrassing low-run loss in yesterdayâs matchup. The rosters have been released.
No changes to todayâs lineup, as itâs an exact reflection of yesterday.
You know what this could tell us? The same roster is set for their version of redemption, and chalk yesterday up to an unlucky opener. Reynaldo LĂłpez will be taking the mound in his return, and if he can keep his steady streak (pre-brawl versus the Angels last week), the defense will be taken care of.
Maximizing runs on the board and applying offensive pressure will be what this competition comes down to. And if they can take advantage of Marlinsâ Max Meyerâs weaknesses on the road, they just might accomplish that. When the Braves faced him on the road before, the on-base percentage was pretty high. Letâs see if they can extend that.
The Marlins are also keeping most of their lineup the same, with only one change near the bottom of the order.
Javier Sanoja will be taking over left field in todayâs matchup, but the remainder of the roster is staying the same, in hopes of having a repeat of game one.
And get this, no one on the roster has faced LĂłpez, so weâre in for a treat.
7:15 p.m. EDT is where it all happens tonight. Weâll check in with you after to discuss the results.
