Nolan Jones leading off for Rockies Wednesday afternoon
Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones will start in left field and bat leadoff in Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Jameson Taillon and the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
The Rockies are giving Charlie Blackmon the afternoon off and having Jones fill in as the leadoff batter. Jones led things off one other time this season for Colorado.
numberFire’s models project Jones ($4,000) for 11.4 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.
