Minnesota Twins second baseman Luis Arraez is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander John Means and the Baltimore Orioles.
Twins' recent call-up Nick Gordon will start on second base over Arraez and hit ninth. Arraez is likely just getting the night off against a left-hander. Kyle Garlick will bat leadoff in place of Arraez.
numberFire’s models project Gordon for 9.1 FanDuel points and he has a $2,100 salary on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Twins have an implied total of 4.5 runs. Means is registering impressive rates with a 27.4 strikeout percentage and 5.1 walk percentage this season, but he has the worst ground ball-to-fly ball ratio among Monday's listed starters.
