"After the standard top 3, Baldwin is back at catcher and batting cleanup a with a RH Charlie Morton on the mound. Obviously with Morton spending so much of the last few years playing for Atlanta, most of the Braves regulars have fewer than 10 career at bats against him. Jurickson Profar, because of his time with San Diego, comes in with the most ABs against him at 19, and Profar has a career .936 OPS against him."
"At the bottom of the order, Michael Harris has been pushed down to 8th, after what has been a rough few weeks. He did have an improved series against Washington and after the overall tough season he's experienced, he certainly wants to finish strong in 2025 with hopes a full rebound in 2026. The Tigers offense this season has been mostly a 4 headed monster of Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter, Spencer Torkleson, and Gleyber Torres, all of whom have a wRC+ somewhere between 114 and 123. Parker Meadows and his .302 OBP batting lead off certainly is a bit odd, especially with Zach McKinstry sitting right there as a viable option to setup the table for their big four hitters, but who are we to judge. They'll face off against Bryce Elder this evening."
The Braves opened a weekend series in Detroit after an off-day, using a familiar lineup with Baldwin back at catcher and batting cleanup against right-hander Charlie Morton. Many Braves regulars have fewer than ten career at-bats versus Morton due to his recent tenure with Atlanta, while Jurickson Profar owns 19 ABs and a .936 OPS against him. Michael Harris has been moved to eighth following a difficult stretch, though he showed improvement against Washington and aims to finish 2025 strong. The Tigers rely on a four-headed offense led by Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter, Spencer Torkleson, and Gleyber Torres, and will send Bryce Elder to the mound.
