Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle is not in the lineup on Tuesday against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and the Toronto Blue Jays.
The left-handed hitting Wendle will sit versus the Blue Jays' southpaw. Jacob Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Marlins' implied total is 4.04 and the game total is 8.0. Kikuchi has a 4.31 ERA and 5.14 xERA this season, with a 45.2% hard-hit rate, 23.3% strikeout rate, and 7.5% walk rate. The lefty also rates in the bottom-10th of the league in xSLG (.503), so this is an attackable matchup for Miami's bats.
