Kansas City Royals infielder Nicky Lopez is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against left-hander Martin Perez and the Boston Red Sox.
The lefty-hitting Lopez is taking a seat against Boston's southpaw. Hanser Alberto is replacing Lopez at shortstop and hitting ninth.
numberFire’s models project Alberto for 9.6 FanDuel points and he has a $2,200 salary on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the over/under in the Royals-Red Sox game (11.0 runs) is tied for the highest total on Wednesday's slate.
