Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker has announced a significant coaching change, appointing former manager Fredi González as the new third base coach, succeeding Matt Tuiasosopo. This unique job swap highlights their long-standing friendship and professional bond, as Snitker previously served under González. The Braves are hoping this move will help revitalize a season that hasn't gone as expected.

González, who managed the Braves from 2011-16 and has extensive coaching experience, including recent roles as an umpire supervisor and bench coach for the Orioles, is expected to bring valuable insight and expertise to the team. Snitker expressed his enthusiasm for González's return to the field, emphasizing the positive impact he can have on the players.

Tuiasosopo will remain within the organization, taking on the newly created role of minor league infield coordinator, which is aimed at enhancing the team's developmental structure.

The Arizona Diamondbacks face off against the Atlanta Braves today at 4:15 p.m., with Zac Gallen taking the mound for Arizona against Spencer Strider for Atlanta. Gallen is looking to break out of a slump after a challenging stretch, allowing 19 earned runs in his last 21.1 innings. He managed a no-decision in his last outing against the Braves earlier this season. Strider, known for his potent fastball, is returning from an injury and searching for consistency.

The matchup highlights two teams with potential playoff aspirations. Fans will be keen to see if Gallen can regain form on the road while Strider aims to showcase his capabilities as he recovers from his injury.

As we transition into June, MLB power rankings reflect a shift in perception for each team compared to their expectations at the start of the season. Leading the charge are the Detroit Tigers, boasting the best record in baseball at 40-21, with a well-rounded team excelling in various metrics.

The New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers have shown commendable performances, while the Yankees continue to thrive despite significant injuries to key players. The Chicago Cubs have surged back, relying on their potent batting lineup and an improving bullpen.

Conversely, the Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers face challenges, struggling to maintain competitiveness in their respective divisions. Teams like the Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks are grappling with injuries and inconsistent performances, threatening their playoff aspirations. With much left to play, the landscape of MLB remains fluid as teams jostle for a postseason berth.

The momentum in MLB PrizePicks continues with a successful 3-1 week, marked by some near misses. Lance McCullers Jr. faces the Pittsburgh Pirates and is projected for more than 5.5 strikeouts, showcasing an impressive strikeout rate of 13 K/9 this season. Spencer Strider, on the other hand, is set to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks while aiming for fewer than 6.5 strikeouts. Correa's resurgence at the plate presents an opportunity against the Athletics, and Drew Rasmussen is expected to record more than 17.5 outs against a struggling Texas lineup.

This week's picks focus heavily on matchups against underperforming offenses, providing potential advantages for fantasy sports players. As the season progresses, monitoring players like McCullers and Correa, who are capitalizing on favorable matchups, will be crucial for making informed selections in daily fantasy contests.

Tuesday's FanDuel MLB slate features a packed lineup with 12 games beginning at 7:05 p.m. EDT. Notably, only two pitchers are priced in five figures, making high-end selections less mandatory. The matchup between the Red Sox and Angels, along with the Twins and Athletics, is projected for the highest scoring games at 9.5 runs. In contrast, the Orioles-Mariners and Padres-Giants games are flagged as lower scoring at 7.5 runs. The Yankees and Twins are the day's biggest favorites, while rain may threaten the Tampa matchup. Pay attention to weather updates before finalizing lineups.

Pablo Lopez stands out as a reliable option for pitchers at $9,800, facing a struggling Athletics team. Zac Gallen's $8,500 price tag raises concerns due to his recent form, while Sawyer Gipson-Long could provide great value if confirmed as a starter for the Tigers at $7,100. Key targets include the Twins stack against Jacob Lopez, who has shown vulnerability against right-handed bats. Similarly, stacking the Cardinals against Michael Lorenzen could yield solid returns given his erratic performance.
