Jeff McNeil moving to Mets' bench against Marlins
New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against left-hander Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins.
What It Means:
Dominic Smith is replacing McNeil in left field and hitting seventh. The Mets appear to be giving McNeil a standard breather.
numberFire’s models project Smith for 8.9 FanDuel points and he has a $2,400 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets have an implied total of 4.3 runs. Luzardo is registering a 21.3 strikeout percentage and a 10.8 walk percentage this season, with a 5.53 xERA and a .353 xwOBA.
