Alex Dickerson out of Atlanta lineup Monday night

Atlanta Braves outfielder Alex Dickerson is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

The Braves are holding the lefty-hitting Dickerson out against the Dodgers' ace southpaw. Marcell Ozuna is shifting into the designated hitter role in place of Dickerson, while Orlando Arcia is entering the lineup to play left field and bat seventh.

numberFire’s models project Arcia for 7.7 FanDuel points on Monday, and he has a $2,400 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Braves have the third-lowest implied total (3.32 runs) in the majors on Monday.
