FanDuel Fantasy Points Per Game More DFS

Lawrence Butler sitting again Friday for Athletics

Oakland Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is not in the lineup for Friday afternoon's series opener against left-hander Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

The left-handed hitting Butler was also held out of the lineup versus a righty last game, but this was expected against a southpaw. Brent Rooker will start in right field and hit third, while Abraham Toro will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth.

numberFire's models project Rooker for 10.3 FanDuel points on Friday afternoon. Toro is projected for 7.7 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have the worst implied total (3.05) in the majors today.
