Mets' Travis d'Arnaud catching, batting eighth Sunday
New York Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud is batting eighth against the Washington Nationals on Sunday.
What It Means:
d'Arnaud got a day off on Saturday, but will return to the lineup on Sunday and send Rene Rivera back to the bench.
The Mets have a fairly unfavorable hitting matchup against Nats starter Joe Ross on tap, with the 11th-lowest implied total (4.55 runs) on the day due to the power suppression of Citi Field (.929 park factor) and Ross's strikeout ability (22.9 percent). This game looks more like a pitcher's duel than an offensive outburst waiting to happen.
