Boston's Tzu-Wei Lin batting ninth against Toronto

Boston Red Sox third baseman Tzu-Wei Lin is batting ninth against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.

What It Means:

Lin is the lefty half of the third base platoon with Deven Marrero, and the latter will sit on Sunday with right-hander Joe Biagini on the mound.

The Red Sox hitters have the 10th-lowest implied total on the slate today, with Biagini holding an above-average strikeout rate (19.6 percent), a minuscule walk rate (6.3 percent), and a power-depressing ground-to-fly rate (1.279; highest today).
