Joc Pederson starting on Thursday night for Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson is starting on Thursday versus the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

Pederson returns after a one-game absence from the starting lineup. He's starting in center field and batting seventh versus Braves right-hander Mike Foltynewicz. Trayce Thompson will be available off the bench.

The Dodgers are heavy favorites and have an attractive implied total (5.00 runs), so they carry decent fantasy appeal into tonight's matchup. numberFire's models project Pederson to score 9.9 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,400 on Thursday.
