Worth noting: 1. The Braves are coming off a long extra-inning game, so getting into their bullpen may prove crucial as the series progresses. 2. If Davis comes up against a righthanded batter in a key situation, maybe the Mets aren't tempted to pinch-hit Smith, the way he's going. But if they are tempted, they mostly can't, because Davis is effectively their only backup at three infield positions.
