What It Means:

Yelich has been sidelined since last Saturday with a stiff back. The Brewers are starting Tyrone Taylor, Joey Wiemer, and Sal Frelick across the outfield again Thursday. Frelick will bat leadoff while Andruw Monasterio will drop down and hit sixth.

numberFire’s models project Frelick ($3,000) for 9.3 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Brewers' implied total is 4.00 and the game total is 8.0. Perez has a 2.90 ERA and 3.72 xERA across his first 83 2/3 innings in the majors, with a sizzling 29.1% strikeout rate in the 85th percentile.
