Will Benson sitting Tuesday for Cincinnati
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Will Benson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against left-hander Logan Allen and the Cleveland Guardians.
What It Means:
The Reds are holding the left-handed hitting Benson, along with fellow lefties Joey Votto and TJ Friedl, out of the order versus a southpaw. Spencer Steer will shift to left field in place of Benson while Kevin Newman will start on third base and bat leadoff.
numberFire’s models project Steer ($3,100) for 9.2 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Reds' implied total is 4.82 and the game total is 9.5. Allen has a 3.55 ERA and 4.47 xERA this season, with a 39.7% hard-hit rate, 22.4% strikeout rate, and 8.9% walk rate.
