Will Benson on Cincinnati bench in early game Friday
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Will Benson is not in the lineup versus left-hander Jordan Wicks and the Chicago Cubs in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader.
What It Means:
The left-handed hitting Benson is taking a seat against the Cubs' southpaw, but he figures to return for the later game. Hunter Renfroe is covering right field and the cleanup spot Friday in his Reds debut.
Renfroe has a $5,500 salary on the single-game slate and numberFire’s models project him for 9.0 FanDuel points on Friday afternoon. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Reds' implied total is a decent 4.71 and the game total is 9.5. Wicks made his MLB debut last Saturday and allowed 1 run on 2 hits, with 9 strikeouts and a walk, over five innings of work.
