Mets' Dominic Smith taking a seat on Saturday

New York Mets first baseman Dominic Smith finds himself out of the lineup Saturday versus the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Facing a lefty, Smith and his left-handed bat will move over in favor of Wilmer Flores' right-handed bat this afternoon.

Over just 17 plate appearances, our models project Smith for 3 hits, 2 RBI and 4 strikeouts the rest of the season.
