Braves' Austin Riley (quad) starting in Game 1 Wednesday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley (quad) is in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the Wild Card Round on Wednesday versus right-hander Trevor Bauer and the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
Riley will start on third base over Pablo Sandoval and bat ninth in his postseason debut. The 23-year-old is doing better after dealing with some minor quad tightness over the second half of September.
numberFire's models expect Riley to score 8.8 FanDuel points on Wednesday with a salary of $2,700. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Braves currently have an implied total of 3.9 runs.
