Yan Gomes grabbing seat for Oakland Thursday afternoon
Oakland Athletics catcher Yan Gomes is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Daniel Lynch and the Kansas City Royals.
What It Means:
Gomes is grabbing a seat for the second time in three games. Sean Murphy is catching Paul Blackburn and batting seventh.
numberFire’s models project Murphy for 9.6 FanDuel points and he has a $2,300 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have an implied total of 5.2 runs. Lynch is registering an 18.2 strikeout percentage and a 9.7 walk percentage this season, with a 6.07 xERA and a .367 xwOBA, the latter two of which both rank in the bottom 4% of the league.
