Alek Thomas sitting for Diamondbacks Wednesday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas is not in the lineup on Wednesday against left-hander Joey Lucchesi and the New York Mets.
What It Means:
The left-handed hitting Thomas will sit against a southpaw. Jake McCarthy will replace Thomas in center field and hit eighth on Wednesday, with Lourdes Gurriel in left and Tommy Pham in right.
numberFire’s models project McCarthy ($2,400) for 7.8 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks' implied total is 4.28 and the game total is 8.0. Lucchesi has been pretty awful across 28 innings this season, evidenced by a 5.99 xERA, 19.0% strikeout rate, and 10.7% barrel rate. Based on those numbers, the lefty's 3.54 ERA is quite misleading.
