Eric Fryer

Eric Fryer catching on Thursday afternoon for St. Louis

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Eric Fryer is starting against the New York Mets on Thursday.

What It Means:

It's the first start of the second half for the 31-year-old backstop, as Fryer will catch Cardinals right-hander Lance Lynn while batting eighth versus fellow righty Seth Lugo and the Mets. Yadier Molina is just getting a breather.

numberFire's models project Fryer to score 5.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,100 on Thursday, so he's not the most attractive option in a matchup with a poor park factor (0.929).
