What It Means:

The left-handed hitting Colas is sitting against the Athletics' southpaw. Andrew Benintendi is starting in left field and hitting second while Trayce Thompson moves to right in place of Colas.

Thompson is numberFire’s fourth-best point-per-dollar value among hitters on Thursday. He has a $2,300 salary and our models project him for 10.6 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the White Sox have the best implied total at 5.32 and the game total is also highest on the board at 10.0.
