Alek Thomas taking seat Monday for Arizona
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander Jose Quintana and the New York Mets.
What It Means:
The left-handed hitting Thomas will sit as the Mets send a southpaw to the mound. Lourdes Gurriel, Corbin Carroll, and Tommy Pham will start across the Diamondbacks' outfield while Evan Longoria serves as the designated hitter and bats sixth.
numberFire’s models project Longo ($2,300) for 8.8 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks' implied total is 4.31 and the game total is 9.0. Quintana is only registering a 17.7% strikeout rate this season, but his hard-hit rate (32.5%) is in the top 88th percentile of the majors.
