Christian Walker sitting for Arizona against Giants
Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against right-hander Logan Webb and the San Francisco Giants.
What It Means:
Walker started the last two games versus a couple of left-handers, but he's back on the bench for Tuesday's tilt against a righty. Pavin Smith is covering first base and batting sixth.
numberFire’s models project Smith for 7.6 FanDuel points and he has a $2,100 salary on Tuesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks have an implied total of 3.2 runs, which is the lowest in the majors on Tuesday. Webb is registering an xwOBA that ranks in the top 17% of the league this season, with a 26.2 strikeout percentage and a 6.2 walk percentage.
