Cedric Mullins moving to Orioles' bench Wednesday
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins will not start in Wednesday's series finale against left-hander Cole Hamels and the Atlanta Braves.
What It Means:
Hanser Alberto will move up to the leadoff spot in place of Mullins and Austin Hays will cover center field. Pat Valaika will enter the lineup on first base and hit seventh. Ryan Mountcastle will shift to left field and bat third.
numberFire's models expect Valaika to score 10.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday with a salary of $2,200. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles have an implied total of 4.38 runs.
