Contreras will grab a breather after catching all nine innings on Wednesday. He finished 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Kevan Smith will catch Ian Anderson on Thursday afternoon and hit eighth.
numberFire’s models project Smith for 7.5 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Braves have the third-lowest implied total (3.5 runs) out of the 20 teams playing Thursday.
