Pedro Alvarez

Orioles' Pedro Alvarez starting, hitting sixth Thursday afternoon

Baltimore Orioles third/first baseman Pedro Alvarez is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

With righty Lucas Giolito on the mound, Alvarez will replace the righty-hitting Danny Valencia at the designated hitter spot. He'll slide in to bat sixth in the Orioles' order.

Our models project Alvarez for 9.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,700 on today's afternoon slate.
