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.
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.
