Marlins' Otto Lopez sitting Friday afternoon
Miami Marlins infielder Otto Lopez is not in the lineup for Friday afternoon's series opener against right-hander Jameson Taillon and the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
Lopez made two starts in the previous series and went 1-for-6 with a run and 2 strikeouts. Emmanuel Rivera will replace Lopez on third base Friday and hit eighth. Nick Fortes will start at catcher over Jhonny Pereda and bat ninth.
numberFire's models project Rivera for 8.3 and Fortes for 6.0 FanDuel points on Friday afternoon. Rivera has a $4,500 single-game slate salary, making him our third-best point-per-dollar value in the matinee.
