Avisail Garcia out of lineup for Rays in ALDS Game 1
Tampa Bay Rays right fielder Avisail Garcia is not starting Friday afternoon in Game 1 of the American League Division Series versus right-hander Justin Verlander and the Houston Astros.
What It Means:
Garcia slugged a 2-run homer in the Rays' Wild Card win, but he's snagging a seat on Friday in Game 1. Austin Meadows is in right field and leading off the order. Yandy Diaz is at designated hitter out of the cleanup spot. Ji-Man Choi is starting on first base and batting third.
The Rays are heavy underdogs on the road against Verlander and their implied total of 3.03 runs is the lowest on Friday's four-game slate.
