A day after going 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs, Happ will move up to the five-hole against Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ while manning second base for the Cubs in Friday's series opener. Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, and Ben Zobrist will each move up one spot in the order, to second, third, and fourth, respectively.

The Cubs have an appealing implied total (4.99 runs) in a matchup with a strong park factor (1.025), so Happ could be worth a look on Friday. numberFire's models project him to score 9.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,800.

After being activated from the disabled list on Wednesday, today will mark Montero's second straight start with Russell Martin (oblique) still out for the time being. In a revenge game of sorts, Montero will hit fifth against former teammate Jake Arrieta.

When hitting fifth this season, Montero is just 5-for-26 in 29 plate appearances. He'll look to turn that around with a projection of 7.9 points at $2,200 on FanDuel this afternoon.

Facing an NL opponent on the road today, the Blue Jays lose their usual four-hitter in designated hitter Kendrys Morales. Therefore, Pearce will slide up a spot to hit fourth against the Cubs' Jake Arrieta.

With a career .379 wOBA and .247 ISO from the cleanup spot, our models project Pearce for 8.8 FanDuel points at $3,500 on the early slate.

As the Blue Jays transition to an NL ballpark in Chicago, they'll forfeit their DH spot, meaning Kendrys Morales is out this afternoon.

After going 1-for-4 with a double in yesterday's game, Morales is projected for 6 dingers, 21 RBI and a .257 average the rest of the season.

Having spelled Jose Bautista on Thursday afternoon, Aoki will make way for Bautista's return to the lineup today in Chicago.

In his part-time role, our models like Aoki to add 21 hits, 7 RBI and 10 runs over the remainder of the 2017 season.

After getting a routine night off on Thursday, Bautista will return to play right and hit lead off against the Cubs' Jake Arrieta. As he does so, he'll send Nori Aoki back to Toronto's bench.

Bautista is 0-for-13 in 18 career plate appearances against today's starter. And, if that wasn't enough to scare you away, the Blue Jays have an implied total of just 4.02 runs this afternoon at Wrigley.
