Atlanta's Kevin Smith absent from lineup Wednesday
Atlanta Braves catcher Kevan Smith is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against left-hander J.A. Happ and the St. Louis Cardinals.
What It Means:
Stephen Vogt is catching for Drew Smyly and hitting eighth. Smith should be available off the bench after starting the last two contests.
numberFire’s models project Vogt for 8.8 FanDuel points and he has a $2,200 salary on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Braves have an implied total of 4.5 runs. Happ's xSLG (.507) ranks in the bottom four percent of the league this season and his xERA (5.82) ranks in the bottom ninth percentile.
