Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester (hamstring) is starting in Thursday afternoon's series finale versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Lester was activated from the injured list Thursday after missing two-plus weeks with a left hamstring strain. He's expected to be limited to 75-80 pitches. The 35-year-old left-hander owns a 2.57 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 14 punchouts and 6 walks over 14 innings this season. The Cubs optioned left-hander Tim Collins to Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding roster move.
numberFire's models expect Lester to post 21.2 FanDuel points on Thursday. He comes with a $7,600 price tag.
