C.J. Cron batting cleanup for Angels on Thursday

Los Angeles Angels first baseman C.J. Cron is batting cleanup on Thursday against the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Cron will move up to cleanup duties after going 1-for-3 with a double on Wednesday, giving him back-to-back games with a two-bagger. Kole Calhoun will move down to the seven-hole. Left-hander Martin Perez is the starting pitcher for Texas.

With a strong implied total (5.10 runs) in a matchup with an encouraging over/under (9.5 runs), the Angels' lineup offers some fantasy appeal. numberFire's models project Cron to score 9.1 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,000 on Thursday.
