Derek Hill sitting for Tigers against Athletics

Detroit Tigers outfielder Derek Hill is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Frankie Montas and the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Hill is taking a seat for the matinee after starting the previous three games. Akil Baddoo is covering center field and Robbie Grossman is rotating over to left. Victor Reyes is entering the lineup to play right field and hit ninth.

numberFire’s models project Reyes for 6.4 FanDuel points and he has a $2,200 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers have an implied total of 3.9 runs. Montas is registering a 26.8 strikeout percentage and a 6.7 walk percentage this season, with a 3.94 xERA and a .304 xwOBA.
