Seth Brown starting on first base in Athletics opener
Oakland Athletics infielder Seth Brown is starting on first base and batting fifth versus right-hander Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday afternoon.
What It Means:
Jed Lowrie was expected to open the year as Oakland's primary first baseman, but that is not the case for Friday's season opener. The Athletics' full lineup: Tony Kemp 2B, Billy McKinney DH, Sean Murphy C, Chad Pinder LF, Brown 1B, Elvis Andrus SS, Kevin Smith 3B, Stephen Piscotty RF, Cristian Pache CF. Frankie Montas is starting on the mound for the A's.
numberFire's models project Brown for 9.7 FanDuel points on Friday, and he has a $2,400 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have the fourth-lowest implied total in the majors.
