Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander JP Sears and the Oakland Athletics.
Kirk is taking a seat for the day game after he went 2-for-3 with 2 doubles, 2 walks, and a run scored on Tuesday night. Tyler Heineman will catch for Hyun Jin Ryu on Wednesday afternoon and bat ninth.
numberFire’s models project Heineman ($2,000) for 6.7 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Blue Jays' implied total is 4.43 and the game total is 8.0. Sears has a poor 4.60 ERA and 4.75 xERA this season, with mediocre hard-hit (39.2%) and strikeout rates (22.2%). His 6.3% walk rate is in the top 82nd percentile of the majors.
