Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows is not in the starting lineup versus left-hander Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox in Thursday afternoon's series opener.
The left-handed hitting Meadows will sit versus the Red Sox's southpaw. Eric Haase will move out to left field and bat fifth while Jake Rogers will catch for Spencer Turnbull and bat eighth.
numberFire’s models project Haase ($2,300) for 10.9 FanDuel points on Thursday and he's the No. 3 point-per-dollar value among batters. Rogers ($2,600) is projected for 9.4 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers' implied total (3.51) is the second-lowest on the board and the game total (7.5) is the lowest out of six games today.
