Cincinnati Reds infielder Max Schrock is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against left-hander Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves.
Schrock started three of the last four games, but those all came against right-handed starters. Albert Almora is replacing Schrock in right field and hitting seventh.
numberFire’s models project Almora for 7.1 FanDuel points on Friday, and he has a $2,500 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Reds' implied total (3.71) is 24th in the majors on Friday.
