Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Luis Castillo and the Cincinnati Reds.
Narvaez will get a routine breather for the matinee following a night game. He is 6-for-16 with 2 home runs, a double, 3 RBI, and 7 runs over his last five games. Manny Pina will catch Freddy Peralta on Thursday afternoon and hit seventh. Willy Adames has been bumped a couple spots to hit fifth after going 4-for-4 in Wednesday's contest.
numberFire’s models project Pina for 8.0 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Brewers have an implied total of 4.3 runs. Castillo is registering a 19.5 strikeout percentage and 8.8 walk percentage this season.
