Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Jameson Taillon and the Chicago Cubs.
Blackmon will take a seat after he went 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout on Tuesday. Hunter Goodman will cover right field in the matinee and hit second. Nolan Jones will fill in for Blackmon as the Rockies' leadoff batter. Kris Bryant will hit third and Elehuris Montero will clean things up for Colorado as the designated hitter.
numberFire’s models project Goodman ($3,300) for 7.7 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rockies' implied total is 5.06, fourth-best on the board, and the game total is the highest of the day at Coors Field. Taillon has a woeful 5.27 ERA and 5.15 xERA this season, with an unimposing 21.5% strikeout rate.
