Nicky Lopez on Braves bench Thursday
Atlanta Braves infielder Nicky Lopez is not in the lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Jake Irvin and the Washington Nationals.
What It Means:
Lopez went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a steal in Wednesday's series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies. Orlando Arcia will return to the lineup Thursday to play shortstop and hit ninth.
numberFire’s models project Arcia ($2,800) for 11.4 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Braves have the best implied total of the day (5.44) and the game total is also the highest on the board (9.0). Irvin has a low strikeout rate (19.1%) and high walk rate (10.0%) this season.
