Anthony Rizzo resting for Cubs on Thursday
Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is not starting in Thursday's series finale versus right-hander Joe Musgrove and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Rizzo and many of the other Cubs' starters are sitting out after they were officially eliminated from postseason contention on Wednesday. Victor Caratini is covering first base. Tony Kemp is in the leadoff spot.
numberFire's models expect Caratini to score 9.0 FanDuel points on Thursday. He's priced at $2,500. Kemp is projected for 9.4 FP and costs $2,100. The Cubs have an implied total of 4.68 runs in a game with an over/under of 9.0 runs.
