Braves Carry Unchanged Lineup Into Pittsburgh Series vs Skenes
Atlanta sticks with its current batting order after ranking last in MLB runs in June, with Harris, Olson, and Dubón driving a hot early-July stretch.
The Braves are traveling to Pittsburgh with an unchanged lineup after a strong start to July. Atlanta ranked last in MLB in runs scored in June but has since climbed to fifth in runs scored in early July. Michael Harris (205 wRC+), Matt Olson (176 wRC+), and Mauricio Dubón (165 wRC+) are the primary drivers of the offensive turnaround. Only five active Braves have faced starter Paul Skenes before, and none have more than three at-bats against him.
