Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Josh VanMeter is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against left-hander Tyler Anderson and the Seattle Mariners.
Drew Ellis is starting on the hot corner in place of VanMeter and hitting seventh.
numberFire’s models project Ellis for 5.7 FanDuel points and he has a $2,700 salary on Friday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks have an implied total of 4.4 runs. Peralta is registering a 19.4 strikeout percentage and a 4.9 walk percentage (top 6% of the league) this season, with a 4.17 xERA and a .312 xwOBA.
