Josh Harrison on second base for Nationals versus Phillies
Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Harrison will start in Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Zach Eflin and the Philadelphia Phillies.
What It Means:
Harrison will return to second base in place of Jordy Mercer and bat second. Trea Turner has been bumped back up to the leadoff spot after hitting second last game.
numberFire’s models project Harrison for 10.3 FanDuel points and he has a $2,900 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals have an implied total of 4.0 runs. Eflin is tied with Gerrit Cole for the lowest walk rate (1.6 percent) in the majors this season among qualified pitchers.
