Akil Baddoo on Tigers' bench Wednesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against right-hander Chris Flexen and the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

Nomar Mazara will bat fifth and join Robbie Grossman and Derek Hill in the outfield while Baddoo grabs a seat. Baddoo is currently in a 4-for-23 skid at the plate.

numberFire’s models project Mazara for 8.1 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers have an implied total of 4.8 runs. Flexen has both the second-lowest strikeout percentage (14.5) and fourth-best walk percentage (4.8) among Wednesday's listed starters.
