Martin Maldonado catching for Astros against Rangers
Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander Jordan Lyles and the Texas Rangers.
What It Means:
Maldonado was held out of the lineup for Monday's opener due to simple maintenance. He is replacing Garrett Stubbs at catcher and hitting ninth.
numberFire’s models project Maldonado for 9.1 FanDuel points and he has a $2,100 salary on Tuesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros have an implied total of 5.5 runs, which is the second-most in the majors on Tuesday. Lyles is registering an 18.4 strikeout percentage and a 7.4 walk percentage this season, with a 5.61 xERA and a .355 xwOBA, the latter two of which both rank in the bottom 9% of the league.
