Cleveland Guardians catcher Mike Zunino is not in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against left-hander Ryan Weathers and the San Diego Padres.
Cam Gallagher is absent for a second straight game, but David Fry will start over Mike Zunino on Thursday night. He will catch for Logan Allen and bat eighth.
numberFire’s models project Fry ($2,000) for 8.2 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Guardians' implied total is 4.11 and the game total is 8.5. Weathers has a 4.93 ERA and 4.35 xERA this season, with a 9.3% walk rate. He has a 31.4% hard-hit rate that is in the top 10th percentile of the league, but that comes with a bottom-10th strikeout rate (15.4%).
