Alec Burleson left off Cardinals' Wild Card roster
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Alec Burleson did not make the Wild Card roster.
The Cardinals opted to bring Nolan Gorman back on board in lieu of Burleson. Lars Nootbaar will start in right field in Game 1 on Friday versus right-hander Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies. Albert Pujols will be the designated hitter and bat second.
Pujols has a $3,000 salary on Friday and numberFire’s models project him for 12.1 FanDuel points. Nootbaar has a $2,600 salary and is projected for 10.9 FanDuel points. They are both considered top-five point-per-dollar values among batters today. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cardinals have an implied total of 3.24 and the over/under for the game is 6.5.
