Oakland Athletics infielder Ryan Noda is not in the lineup for Friday afternoon's series opener against left-hander Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers.
The left-handed hitting Noda will sit versus the Tigers' southpaw. J.D. Davis will start on first base and hit second, while Darell Hernaiz will handle things on third and bat eighth. Zack Gelof will bat leadoff for the Athletics in place of Noda. JJ Bleday will hit seventh.
numberFire's models project Davis for 9.1 FanDuel points on Friday afternoon. Hernaiz is projected for 5.7 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have the worst implied total (3.05) in the majors today.
