Rockies' Elias Diaz sitting Thursday afternoon
Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Max Scherzer and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What It Means:
Dom Nunez is starting at catcher over Diaz and hitting eighth.
numberFire’s models project Nunez for 9.8 FanDuel points and he has a $2,600 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rockies have an implied total of 4.0 runs. Scherzer is registering a 35.1 strikeout percentage and a 5.4 walk percentage this season, with a 2.79 xERA and a .257 xwOBA, and they all rank in the top 10% of the league among qualified pitchers.
