Pedro Severino sitting Thursday for Orioles

Baltimore Orioles catcher Pedro Severino is not starting in Thursday's series opener against right-hander Glenn Otto and the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Severino is taking a seat after starting each of the last four games. Austin Wynns is replacing Severino behind the plate and hitting ninth.

numberFire’s models project Wynns for 7.2 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles have an implied total of 4.3 runs. Otto is registering a 24.7 strikeout percentage and a 7.8 walk percentage this season.
