Brendan Rodgers batting fifth Friday for Rockies

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers is starting on second base and batting fifth in Friday's series opener against left-hander Cole Irvin and the Baltimore Orioles.

What It Means:

The Rockies are moving Rodgers down a few spots as they take on a left-hander. He hit third in Thursday's series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays and went 0-for-2 with 2 walks and a strikeout. Elias Diaz is hitting third for the Rockies on Friday and Nolan Jones is batting sixth.

numberFire’s models project Rodgers ($2,500) for 7.5 FanDuel points on Friday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rockies' implied total is a deflated 3.75 and the game total is 9.0. Irvin has registered a 6.03 xERA this season that ranks in the bottom sixth percentile of the majors.
