Rougned Odor on Baltimore bench Thursday afternoon

Baltimore Orioles infielder Rougned Odor is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Steven Matz and the St. Louis Cardinals.

What It Means:

The Orioles are holding the lefty-hitting Odor out of the lineup against a southpaw. Chris Owings is shifting to second base in place of Odor while Rylan Bannon makes his MLB debut at third base. Bannon was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

numberFire’s models project Owings for 7.4 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $2,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles have the lowest implied total (3.61) in the bigs on Thursday.
