Austin Nola sitting Thursday for Padres

San Diego Padres catcher Austin Nola is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Kyle Freeland and the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Jorge Alfaro will start at catcher over Nola and hit cleanup. Nomar Mazara will bat seventh after being the cleanup batter on Wednesday.

numberFire’s models project Alfaro for 12.4 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $2,800 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Padres have the highest implied total (6.04) in the majors on Thursday.
