Chad Pinder riding pine Thursday for Athletics

Oakland Athletics outfielder Chad Pinder is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Paolo Espino and the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Seth Brown will replace Pinder in right field and hit third.

Brown has a $2,500 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 12.4 FanDuel points, which currently makes him our third-best point-per-dollar value among hitters on the Afternoon Only slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have an implied total of 3.94 and the over/under for the game is 8.0 runs.
