Jesus Aguilar joining Marlins' bench Thursday afternoon
Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Rich Hill and the New York Mets.
What It Means:
Aguilar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double on Wednesday. The homer and double were his 19th of the season in each category. Joe Panik is replacing Aguilar on first base Thursday afternoon and hitting sixth. Jorge Alfaro is moving up a few spots to hit third and fill the vacant spot in the order.
numberFire’s models project Panik for 8.1 FanDuel points and he has a $2,200 salary on Thursday. Alfaro ($2,400) is projected for 8.2 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Marlins have the lowest listed implied total and their matchup has the lowest over/under on Thursday's slate. Hill is registering a 22.2 strikeout percentage with an 9.0 walk percentage this season.
