Contact prone offense facing a pitcher with poor peripherals
The Braves find themselves with their standard lineup and a 5.38 run line game two of their double-header, which essentially ties them for the top spot on the board tonight against Merandy Gonzalez, who has previously thrown several multiple inning outings out of the pen for the Marlins earlier in the season. He reached AA for the first time this season and has just a 4.6 K-BB% though 14 starts. A contact prone Atlanta lineup should be able to do some damage against him. Each of the first six batters in the lineup have a 99 wRC+ or better vs RHP over the last calendar year. The top three supply the power: Ronald Acuna (134 wRC+, .254 ISO), Ozzie Albies (108 wRC+, .206 ISO) and Freddie Freeman (135 wRC+, .195 ISO).
