Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series opener against right-hander Matt Harvey and the Baltimore Orioles.
Verdugo will replace Hunter Renfroe in right field and hit second after taking a breather in Wednesday's series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. He has doubled in each of his last two appearances. Rafael Devers will drop a couple spots to hit cleanup.
numberFire’s models project Verdugo for 12.7 FanDuel points versus the Orioles and he has a salary of $2,800 on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Red Sox have an implied total of 4.9 runs.
