Marlins' Sandy Leon sitting Thursday

Miami Marlins catcher Sandy Leon is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Carlos Carrasco and the New York Mets.

What It Means:

Jorge Alfaro is catching Sandy Alcantara and hitting seventh. Leon and Alex Jackson are both idle.

numberFire’s models project Alfaro for 8.5 FanDuel points and he has a $2,400 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Marlins have an implied total of 3.1 runs, which is currently the lowest in the majors on Thursday. Carrasco is registering a 23.0 strikeout percentage and a 4.0 walk percentage this season, with a 4.11 xERA and a .310 xwOBA.
