Ronald Acuna (shoulder) in Braves lineup Tuesday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna (shoulder) is in the lineup against right-hander Sandy Alcantara and the Miami Marlins in Tuesday's series opener.
What It Means:
Acuna was popped in the shoulder by a pitch in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the New York Mets, but he will surprisingly remain in right field and the leadoff spot a day later. Acuna went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a double, and 3 runs scored in Game 1 on Monday.
numberFire’s models project Acuna ($4,500) for 12.5 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Braves' implied total is third-lowest on the board at 3.54 and the game total is 7.5. Alcantara has a 5.04 ERA with a 20.8% strikeout rate and 7.2% walk rate this season.
