Colorado Rockies left fielder/designated hitter Kris Bryant is in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon’s series finale against left-hander Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres.
What It Means:
Bryant was on paternity leave for the first three games of the series, but he will be the Rockies’ designated hitter and No. 3 batter for the finale. Connor Joe will be in left field for Colorado and Charlie Blackmon will be available off the bench.
numberFire’s models project Bryant for 10.8 FanDuel points on Thursday afternoon and he has a $4,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rockies have the third-highest implied total (5.46) in the majors on Thursday and the over/under in the game (11.5) is two runs higher than any other total.
