Gerardo Parra

Nationals' Gerardo Parra starting Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Gerardo Parra is starting in Thursday afternoon's series finale versus right-hander Zack Wheeler and the New York Mets.

What It Means:

Parra has played the outfield for his entire career, but he's been helping fill in at first base while Ryan Zimmerman recovers from a foot injury. The 32-year-old veteran is batting sixth on Thursday. Howie Kendrick is moving to second base. Brian Dozier is on the bench.

numberFire's models expect Parra to score 7.5 FanDuel points on Thursday. He's priced at $2,200.
