Oakland Athletics outfielder JJ Bleday will start in left field and bat third in Tuesday's series opener against right-hander Jhony Brito and the New York Yankees.
Bleday will shift back to the outfield from designated hitter and make a fourth straight start while Conner Capel remains on the bench. Bleday will hit third while Brent Rooker will be Oakland's DH and hit fifth Tuesday.
numberFire’s models project Bleday ($2,700) for 9.4 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics' implied total is a low 3.78 and the game total is 8.0. Brito has a rough 5.40 xERA and just a 16.7% strikeout rate this season, with an ugly 11.1% barrel rate.
