Andrelton Simmons sitting for Cubs Friday afternoon
Chicago Cubs infielder Andrelton Simmons is not in the starting lineup for Friday afternoon's game against right-hander Humberto Castellanos and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
What It Means:
Simmons started Thursday's series opener and the game before that, but he's on the bench for Friday's matinee. Ildemaro Vargas is replacing Simmons at shortstop and batting ninth.
numberFire’s models project Vargas for 6.6 FanDuel points on Friday, and he has a $2,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have the highest implied total (5.85) in the majors on Friday and the over/under for the game (11.0) is a run higher than any other total.
