Rowdy Tellez taking seat Thursday for Toronto
Toronto Blue Jays first baseman/designated hitter Rowdy Tellez is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against left-hander Dallas Keuchel and the Chicago White Sox.
What It Means:
Tellez will get the night off against a left-hander. Bo Bichette will serve as Toronto's designated hitter and Santiago Espinal will enter the lineup at shortstop and hit ninth.
numberFire’s models project Espinal for 10.0 FanDuel points and he has a $2,500 salary on Thursday. Bichette ($3,500) is projected for 14.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Blue Jays have an implied total of 4.6 runs. Keuchel has the worst strikeout rate (12.0 percent) out of the 20 listed starters on Thursday's slate.
