Chad Pinder riding pine for Athletics against Mariners

Oakland Athletics infielder/outfielder Chad Pinder is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday night's series finale against right-hander Chris Flexen and the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

Pinder finished 0-for-4 at the plate on Tuesday but he did draw a walk and score a run as the Athletics' starting left fielder. Tony Kemp will start in left field on Wednesday and hit eighth. Stephen Piscotty and Mark Canha will fill out the rest of the Athletics' outfield.

numberFire’s models project Kemp for 9.6 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have an implied total of 4.6 runs. Among Wednesday's listed starters, Flexen has the third-lowest strikeout percentage (14.9) and second-best walk percentage (5.0).
