Robinson Chirinos catching Thursday for Mets

New York Mets catcher Robinson Chirinos is in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against left-hander Patrick Corbin and the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Chirinos will replace Wilson Ramos at catcher and hit ninth. He owns an awful .149 batting average this season but he's gone 3-for-7 with a double and RBI in his last two games.

numberFire's models expect Chirinos to score 5.6 FanDuel points on Thursday with a salary of $2,100. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets currently have an implied total of 4.4 runs.
