Michael Brantley hitting second for Astros in Monday's opener
Houston Astros left fielder Michael Brantley is hitting second in Monday's series opener against right-hander Edwin Jackson and the Detroit Tigers.
What It Means:
Jose Altuve appears to be getting a breather, so Brantley is moving up a spot from the three-hole to fill the void. Alex Bregman is hitting third and Yordan Alvarez is on cleanup duty. Carlos Correa, Yuli Gurriel, and Robinson Chirinos are in the 5-7 spots for Houston on Monday.
numberFire's models expect Brantley to score 16.8 FanDuel points on Monday. He's priced at $4,400.
