Cubs' Patrick Wisom on bench Tuesday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander Taijuan Walker and the New York Mets.

What It Means:

Wisdom went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Mets. It was his ninth home run in 20 games since being called up last month. Kris Bryant will play third base Tuesday and Joc Pederson will start in left field as the Cubs' leadoff man.

numberFire’s models project Pederson for 12.3 FanDuel points and he has a $2,900 salary on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have an implied total of 4.1 runs. Walker is registering a 24.9 strikeout percentage and 10.0 walk percentage this season. His walk rate is tied for third-worst among Tuesday's listed starters.
