Byron Buxton leading off for Twins matinee
Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton will bat leadoff in Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Logan Allen and the Cleveland Indians.
What It Means:
Buxton hit third on Tuesday and went 2-for-4 with a single and his seventh home run of the season. This will be his second turn at the top of the order this year. Nelson Cruz has been bumped up to the third spot in the lineup and Mitch Garver will hit fifth. Luis Arraez, who typically bats cleanup for the Twins, is getting the afternoon off.
numberFire’s models project Buxton for 12.9 FanDuel points versus the Indians and he has a salary of $4,500 on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Twins have an implied total of 4.6 runs and Allen owns the third-lowest strikeout percentage (16.9) out of the 30 listed starters.
