Ji-Man Choi out of Rays' lineup versus Orioles
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against left-hander John Means and the Baltimore Orioles.
What It Means:
The Rays also held Choi out of the lineup in their previous game against a left-hander. Yandy Diaz (neck) will cover first base and bat leadoff on Tuesday. Vidal Brujan will enter the lineup to play second base and bat eighth. Brandon Lowe will play right field and bat fifth.
numberFire’s models project Diaz for 8.3 FanDuel points and he has a $2,800 salary on Tuesday. Lowe ($3,200) is projected for 12.4 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays have an implied total of 4.3 runs. Means is registering a 25.7 strikeout percentage with a 4.9 walk percentage this season. The Rays have the third-worst strikeout rate in the majors against southpaws.
