Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies.
Marte appears to be getting a breather for a getaway day Thursday. Daulton Varsho is replacing Marte in center field and hitting fifth.
numberFire’s models project Varsho for 9.2 FanDuel points and he has a $2,600 salary on Thursday slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks have an implied total of 3.4 runs. Wheeler is registering a 29.3 strikeout percentage and a 5.5 walk percentage this season, with a 2.72 xERA and a .255 xwOBA, the latter two of which both rank in the top 7% of the league.
