It’s a bit of a bummer to see Austin Riley’s xwOBA slide as far as it has. But it’s nice to see Michael Harris II and Orlando Arcia with offensive inputs in the “legitimately dangerous” range at this point in time.
This game is a reunion of sorts for a bunch of former Oakland Athletics — Sean Murphy and Matt Olson on the Braves, as well as Matt Chapman and Chris Bassitt on the Jays.
