Adam Duvall and Jarred Kelenic both hitting above Murphy is not something I thought I’d see this year Sean Murphy returns to the lineup as the Braves look to keep the offensive ball rolling. Yesterday, they had a top-25 team-game xwOBA so far this year, and their second best xwOBA of the year... and still lost. So it goes.

In this lineup, only Jarred Kelenic and Adam Duvall have ever faced Luis Medina. Both went 1-for-3 against him last year, with their hits being singles; Duvall struck out twice and Kelenic struck out once.
Meanwhile, Oakland’s lineup for the series finale is a mix of now-familiar faces from the last two days of play:

Four guys in this lineup have faced Morton before, but all very sparsely. Miguel Andujar has a double, two strikeouts, and three field outs in six PAs, JJ Bleday has a walk and two field outs, Aledmys Diaz has a strikeout and three field outs, and Abraham Toro has a walk and a field out.
