Seth Brown on Oakland bench Thursday
Oakland Athletics first baseman Seth Brown is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against left-hander Konnor Pilkington and the Cleveland Guardians.
What It Means:
The Athletics are giving the lefty-hitting Brown a breather against the Guardians' southpaw. Matt Davidson is on first base and batting seventh while Kevin Smith starts on third base and bats eighth.
numberFire’s models project Davidson for 8.0 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $2,000 salary. Smith is projected for 7.4 FanDuel points with a $2,200 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, Pilkington has the sixth-highest strikeout rate (29.1%) out of Thursday's listed starters.
