Cam Gallagher behind the plate for Royals on Monday night

Kansas City Royals catcher Cam Gallagher is starting on Monday against the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Gallagher will catch right-hander Jake Junis and bat ninth versus Athletics righty Jharel Cotton. Drew Butera will be available off the bench after making four straight starts behind the plate for Kansas City.

numberFire's models project Gallagher to score only 5.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,000 on Monday, so we recommend looking elsewhere, especially due to a poor implied total (4.36 runs) for the Royals in a pitcher-friendly matchup (9.0 over/under, 0.934 park factor).
