Kevan Smith sitting for Braves Thursday afternoon

Atlanta Braves catcher Kevan Smith is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Taijuan Walker and the New York Mets.

What It Means:

Stephen Vogt is catching for Drew Smyly and hitting seventh. The Braves have been alternating starts between Smith and Vogt since last weekend.

numberFire’s models project Vogt for 8.6 FanDuel points and he has a $2,200 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Braves have an implied total of 4.1 runs. Walker is registering a 23.3 strikeout percentage with a 9.3 walk percentage this season.
