Chicago Cubs left fielder Kyle Schwarber is leading off in Thursday's series finale versus right-hander Luis Castillo and the Cincinnati Reds.
It's Schwarber's first time leading off all season. He hadn't hit higher than fifth before handling cleanup duty on Wednesday, when he hit his 5th home run of the season in a 6-5 loss to the Reds. Javier Baez is in the cleanup spot Thursday. Jason Heyward is down in the seven-hole.
numberFire's models believe Schwarber makes for an exceptional value play on Thursday, as he's projected for 12.6 FanDuel points while costing $2,400.
