Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Jake Arrieta and the Chicago Cubs.
Diaz is taking a seat after starting the last two games and four of the last five. Dom Nunez is catching for Antonio Senzatela and hitting eighth.
numberFire’s models project Nunez for 11.5 FanDuel points and he has a $2,700 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rockies have the highest implied total in the majors on Thursday. Arrieta's xERA (6.34) and xwOBA (.376) both rank in the bottom three percent of the league this season.
