Washington Nationals designated hitter Howie Kendrick is not in the starting lineup in Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Zach Eflin and the Philadelphia Phillies.
Eric Thames will replace Kendrick at DH and hit seventh. Juan Soto will bat third in place of Kendrick.
numberFire's models expect Thames to score 9.3 FanDuel points on Thursday afternoon. He costs $2,500. The Nationals-Phillies game is tied for having the highest over/under (10.5 runs) on Thursday's slate, per our MLB Heat Map.
