Albert Pujols on first base Thursday for Dodgers
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Albert Pujols is in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Ranger Suarez and the Philadelphia Phillies.
What It Means:
Pujols is playing first base and batting third in his first start since last Friday. Max Muncy is moving to the hot corner with Justin Turner (groin) still sidelined. Chris Taylor is shifting to the outfield to join Cody Bellinger and A.J. Pollock. Matt Beaty is moving to the bench after starting in right on Wednesday.
numberFire’s models project Pujols for 11.4 FanDuel points and he has a $2,200 salary, making him our second-best point-per-dollar value among hitters on Thursday's afternoon slate. Suarez ranks in the top five percent of the league this season in xERA (2.61) and xwOBA (.250), and he is in the top seventh percentile in xBA (.183).
