Albert Pujols absent from Dodgers' lineup Thursday afternoon
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Albert Pujols is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Jake Woodford and the St. Louis Cardinals.
What It Means:
Pujols is taking a seat after starting the previous two games. Max Muncy is moving to first base while Justin Turner returns to the lineup to play third base and bat cleanup.
numberFire’s models project Muncy for 13.9 FanDuel points and he has a $3,900 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Dodgers have an implied total of 4.9 runs, which is the second-highest in the majors on Thursday. Woodford is registering an 18.8 strikeout percentage and an 8.6 walk percentage this season, with a 5.04 xERA and a .339 xwOBA.
