C.J. Cron sitting for Colorado's Thursday matinee
Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Jake Arrieta and the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
Cron appears to be getting a maintenance day for Thursday's matinee. Connor Joe is starting in place of Cron on first base and batting fifth. Trevor Story is hitting third and Ryan McMahon is on cleanup duty.
numberFire’s models project Joe for 9.7 FanDuel points and he has a $2,500 salary on Thursday. Story ($4,200) is projected for 14.7 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rockies have the highest implied total in the majors on Thursday. Arrieta's xERA (6.34) and xwOBA (.376) both rank in the bottom three percent of the league this season.
