Derek Fisher starting on Friday for Astros versus Rangers
Houston Astros outfielder Derek Fisher is starting on Friday against the Texas Rangers.
Fisher was held out of Thursday's lineup against a left-hander, but he will start in left field and bat ninth versus Rangers southpaw Cole Hamels on Friday night. Marwin Gonzalez will move inside to shortstop while Alex Bregman handles the hot corner for Houston and J.D. Davis grabs a seat on the bench.
With one of the highest implied totals (5.17 runs) on the slate in a batter-friendly matchup (10.0 over/under, 1.121 park factor), the Astros are loaded with fantasy upside on Friday. numberFire's models project Fisher to score 9.3 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,100 on Friday.
