What It Means:

The Padres claimed Sanchez off waivers from the New York Mets on Monday. He will catch for Ryan Weathers and hit seventh in his Padres debut a day later. Austin Nola will be on the bench Tuesday. Brett Sullivan was sent down to Triple-A El Paso.

numberFire’s models project Sanchez ($2,000) for 8.7 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Padres' implied total is 3.74 and the game total is 8.0. Alcantara is having a career-worst season since he became a full-time starter, but his numbers are still pretty fine overall. He has a 4.86 ERA (4.26 xERA), 21.6% strikeout rate, and 7.6% walk rate.
