Austin Hays absent Monday for Orioles
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Dakota Hudson and the St. Louis Cardinals.
What It Means:
Hays is taking a seat after he went 0-for-4 with 4 strikeouts on Sunday and ended a five-game hitting streak. Aaron Hicks is moving to left field in Monday's opener while Ryan O'Hearn heads out to right and Ryan Mountcastle returns to first base.
numberFire’s models project Hicks ($2,500) for 6.8 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles' implied total is 5.50, third-highest on the board, and the game total is a batter-friendly 10.0. Hudson's strikeout rate (13.4%) is one of the worst in the majors this season and his hard-hit rate (44.4%) is in the bottom 13th percentile.
