Tommy Pham in Cardinals' lineup Thursday to start second half
St. Louis Cardinals center fielder Tommy Pham is starting in Thursday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs.
Pham will replace Harrison Bader (knee) in center field and bat eighth versus Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks. He managed to end a six-game hitless streak as a pinch-hitter in the final game before the All-Star break after Bader was forced to make an early exit with a knee injury.
numberFire's models project Pham to score 10.0 FanDuel points on Thursday.
