Houston Astros outfielder Corey Julks is not in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Jose Berrios and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Julks will move to the bench while Jake Meyers returns to the outfield and hits eighth. Chas McCormick and Kyle Tucker will be in the other outfield spots for Houston. Alex Bregman will take back over on third base and in the cleanup spot while Grae Kressinger takes a seat. Martin Maldonado will start at catcher over Yainer Diaz and hit ninth.
numberFire’s models project Meyers ($2,600) for 8.3 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros' implied total is 4.00 and the game total is 8.0. Berrios has a 3.66 ERA and 1.25 WHIP this season, with a 23.1% strikeout rate and 7.5% walk rate.
