Kansas City Royals outfielder Kyle Isbel is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Lucas Giolito and the Cleveland Guardians.
Isbel started and went 1-for-6 with a double, a walk, and 2 runs scored in the first two games of the series. Drew Waters will replace Isbel in center field and hit eighth on Wednesday afternoon.
numberFire’s models project Waters ($2,700) for 9.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals' implied total is 3.90 and the game total is 8.5. Giolito has a middling 4.59 ERA and 4.31 xERA this season, but his 26.1% strikeout rate is in the top 71st percentile among qualified pitchers.
