Jose Ramirez batting cleanup on Monday night for Cleveland
Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez is hitting fourth on Monday versus the Boston Red Sox.
Ramirez finished 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen bag on Sunday while batting third in the Indians' order against southpaw Carlos Rodon and the Chicago White Sox. He's on third base and handling cleanup duties for tonight's series opener against Red Sox right-hander Doug Fister. Edwin Encarnacion and Carlos Santana were also moved down a spot in the order, to fifth and sixth, respectively.
With an implied total of 5.37 runs in a batter-friendly matchup (10.5 over/under, 1.082 park factor) against a starting pitcher who has been prone to walk the opposing batter this season (13.9 percent), the Indians appear loaded with upside on Monday night. numberFire's models project Ramirez to score 15.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,600, making him a strong play.
