Kevin Newman leading off for Pirates against Nationals

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman is leading off in Wednesday afternoon's series finale versus left-hander Patrick Corbin and the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

numberFire's models expect Newman to score 8.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He's priced at $3,000.
