Enrique Hernandez leading off Thursday for Boston
Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez will start in center field and bat leadoff in Thursday's series finale against right-hander Zack Greinke and the Houston Astros.
What It Means:
Hernandez hadn't hit higher than seventh in any of the previous five games. He went 4-for-10 in that stretch and is now back at the top of the order. Danny Santana is out of the lineup after being the primary leadoff man over the past week.
numberFire’s models project Hernandez for 10.2 FanDuel points and he has a $2,400 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Red Sox have an implied total of 4.5 runs. Greinke owns a 18.4 strikeout percentage and 4.9 walk percentage this season.
