Oakland Athletics outfielder JJ Bleday is not in the lineup for Monday afternoon's series opener against left-hander Carlos Rodon and the New York Yankees.
The left-handed hitting Bleday will take a seat against a southpaw. Esteury Ruiz will replace Bleday in center field and bat leadoff. Abraham Toro will move down from the top of the lineup and hit fifth.
numberFire's models project Ruiz for 10.4 and Toro for 8.6 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have the worst implied total (3.21) in the majors today.
