Edwin Encarnacion (oblique) in Yankees' cleanup spot for ALDS Game 1
New York Yankees designated hitter/first baseman Edwin Encarnacion (oblique) is at DH out of the cleanup spot in Game 1 of the American League Division Series versus right-hander Jose Berrios and the Minnesota Twins.
What It Means:
Encarnacion hasn't played since straining his left oblique on September 12. Giancarlo Stanton is in left field and hitting fifth. DJ LeMahieu is on first base out of the leadoff spot. Cameron Maybin is available off the bench.
numberFire's models expect Encarnacion to score 11.2 FanDuel points in Game 1. He's priced at $4,000. The Yankees lead all teams on Friday's four-game slate with an implied total of 4.83 runs.
