San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham (knee) is in the leadoff spot for Monday's series opener against left-hander Kyle Muller and the Atlanta Braves.
Pham was lifted early on Sunday after running into the outfield wall, but he's apparently good to go. He is in his usual spot atop the order against a southpaw and Trent Grisham is hitting seventh.
numberFire’s models project Pham for 11.3 FanDuel points and he has a $3,000 salary on Monday. Grisham ($3,500) is projected for 11.0 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, Muller has the highest strikeout rate among Monday's listed starters (31.3 percent), but the Padres have the sixth-lowest strikeout rate (21.6 percent) against left-handed pitchers this season.
