Atlanta's Abraham Almonte sitting against Nationals
Atlanta Braves outfielder Abraham Almonte is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against left-hander Jon Lester and the Washington Nationals.
What It Means:
Almonte started the past two games in left field but Ehire Adrianza will make the start there on Wednesday and bat sixth against the Nationals' left-hander. Almonte's two starts both came against righties, possibly indicating he will be the preferred option against right-handers.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, Lester enters Wednesday with a 17.7 strikeout percentage and 8.1 walk percentage this season. The Braves' lineup is averaging 96.0 FanDuel points per game versus left-handers, third-most in the majors on Wednesday.
