Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler is batting leadoff in Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday afternoon against right-hander Corbin Burnes and the Milwaukee Brewers.
Soler is at the top of the order as the Braves are going with the same lineup they primarily used over the final two weeks of the regular season. Travis d'Arnaud is behind the plate and Charlie Morton is on the hill for Atlanta. Burnes gave up five earned runs in four innings back on July 30 in a start against the Braves.
numberFire's models project Soler for 11.3 FanDuel points and he has a $3,500 salary on Friday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Braves have the lowest implied total on the board (3.17). Burnes registered an impressive 2.61 SIERA and 35.6% strikeout rate in the regular season.
