Orioles starting Pat Valaika at first base on Friday night

Baltimore Orioles utility-man Pat Valaika is batting eighth in Friday's lineup against the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Valaika will man first base with Ryan Mountcastle in left field, Austin Hays in right, and D.J. Stewart sitting out.

In a matchup against left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, our models project Valaika to score 10.2 FanDuel points at the salary of $2,000.
