Kyle Schwarber leading off Thursday for Cubs
Chicago Cubs left fielder Kyle Schwarber is leading off in Thursday's series finale versus right-hander Luis Castillo and the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
It's Schwarber's first time leading off all season. He hadn't hit higher than fifth before handling cleanup duty on Wednesday, when he hit his 5th home run of the season in a 6-5 loss to the Reds. Javier Baez is in the cleanup spot Thursday. Jason Heyward is down in the seven-hole.
numberFire's models believe Schwarber makes for an exceptional value play on Thursday, as he's projected for 12.6 FanDuel points while costing $2,400.
