Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno will hit third in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series on Thursday against left-hander Ranger Suarez and the Philadelphia Phillies.
Moreno is moving up two spots as the Diamondbacks mix things up in an attempt to avoid falling into an 0-3 series deficit. Tommy Pham will swap spots with Moreno and bat fifth. Ketel Marte will bat leadoff for Arizona and Corbin Carroll will hit second.
numberFire’s models project Moreno ($2,400) for 9.8 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks have the lowest implied total today (4.33) and the game total is 9.0. Suarez has allowed just 13 hits and 4 runs, while recording 19 strikeouts, across 23 1/3 innings in seven playoff games the past two seasons. In the last round against the Atlanta Braves, the lefty threw 8 2/3 innings of one-run ball over two starts.
