Atlanta Braves Insights

  • The Atlanta Braves infield defense profiles as the 2nd-worst on the slate today.

  • The Philadelphia Phillies have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Matt Olson has a strong chance of never facing a bullpen mismatch all game.

  • Vaughn Grissom has a high pull rate on his flyballs (34.5% — 87th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the game's 10th-shallowest LF fences today.
