Pat Valaika idle for Orioles against Rangers
Baltimore Orioles infielder Pat Valaika is not starting in Thursday's series opener against right-hander Glenn Otto and the Texas Rangers.
The Orioles appear to just be giving Valaika a breather. Jahmai Jones is covering second base and batting sixth.
numberFire’s models project Jones for 6.7 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.
