Michael Taylor taking seat Friday for Minnesota
Minnesota Twins outfielder Michael Taylor is not in the lineup against right-hander Dane Dunning and the Texas Rangers on Friday.
What It Means:
Taylor extended his hitting streak to seven games with a pair of home runs in Thursday's series opener, but he's taking a breather a day later. Joey Gallo is covering center field and hitting eighth on Friday for the Twins.
numberFire’s models project Gallo ($2,400) for 7.2 FanDuel points on Friday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Twins' implied total is 4.33 and the game total is 8.5. Dunning has a 3.19 ERA in front of a 4.36 xERA this season, with a 40.2% hard-hit rate, 18.7% strikeout rate, and 6.5% walk rate. His strikeout rate is low (bottom 18th percentile of MLB), but he also isn't handing out many walks (top 77th).
