Cubs position Nelson Velazquez in center on Friday
Chicago Cubs outfielder Nelson Velazquez is batting eighth in Friday's lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What It Means:
Velazquez will man center field after Christopher Morel was shifted to second base and Andrelton Simmons was given a breather.
In a matchup versus left-hander Tyler Anderson, our models project Velazquez to score 6.7 FanDuel points at the salary of $2,200.
