Patrick Wisdom riding pine Friday afternoon for Cubs
Chicago Cubs infielder Patrick Wisdom is not in the starting lineup for Friday afternoon's series opener against right-hander German Marquez and the Colorado Rockies.
Wisdom will sit after going 1-for-12 with an RBI and five strikeouts over the last three games. David Bote will shift to third base and bat fifth while Zach McKinstry replaces Wisdom in the lineup to play second base and lead off the order. Christopher Morel will bat ninth after leading off last game.
McKinstry has a $4,500 salary on FanDuel's single-game slate Friday afternoon and numberFire’s models project him for 11.4 FanDuel points, which makes him our top point-per-dollar value batter in the contest. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs’ implied total (4.52) is No. 6 in the majors today.
