Athletics' Luis Barrera on bench Thursday afternoon

Oakland Athletics outfielder Luis Barrera is not in the starting lineup again for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Paul Blackburn and the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Ramon Laureano is replacing Barrera in right field while Cristian Pache enters the lineup to play center field and bat ninth.

Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the park factor in the Athletics-Red Sox game is second-strongest for hitters out of the nine games being played Thursday. Laureano has a $2,700 salary and our models project him for 10.0 FanDuel points.
