Christian Walker taking seat Wednesday for Arizona
Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres.
What It Means:
Walker is sitting after going 1-for-10 and striking out six times over the last three games. Pavin Smith is covering first base and batting third. David Peralta is returning to action to play left field and bat cleanup.
numberFire’s models project Peralta for 6.7 FanDuel points and he has a $3,200 salary on Wednesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks have an implied total of 3.8 runs. Darvish is registering a 29.7 strikeout percentage and a 5.6 walk percentage this season, with a 3.10 xERA and a .271 xwOBA.
